The first week of September saw the Ashesi community welcome its largest class yet. Amidst warm hugs and goodbyes from family and friends, and hearty welcomes from student volunteers and staff, 322 freshmen joined the Ashesi community.
With their enrollment, the student body has grown to a little over 1,000 members; a long way from the 30 pioneer students who joined Ashesi some 16 years ago.
The Class, 46% of whom are women, were selected from across African 14 countries. 42% of the class will receive scholarship support.
In a packed, yet exciting week of orientation activities, many members of the class are already working their way into life on campus, making new friends and sharing experiences. “This is an exciting step in my life,” said Philip Akwei Sekyere’ 22. “I can’t wait to identify new spaces for growth here at Ashesi.”
The week ended in a colorful Matriculation ceremony with many freshmen garbed in their national and cultural outfits. Featuring memorable welcome messages from the President, the Provost, the Dean of Student Affairs and the Student Council, the Class of 2022 was officially inducted into Ashesi University.
The support of donors was vital in empowering Ashesi to reach this milestone. Thank you for being part of Ashesi University's growth!
