Diana Asonaba Dapaah, Deputy Attorney General
The Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Diana Asonaba Dapaah, has urged past students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Law School to be intentional in carrying forward the school’s values.
She mentioned the values as excellence, integrity and service, asking them to also leverage the acquired skills to effect positive change in their communities. Mrs Dapaah also urged the past students to come together to honour the school’s rich heritage and recommit themselves to the values of the university that had defined their collective journey.
“Stand united in your shared experiences, bound by the ties of friendship and the promise of a brighter tomorrow,” she said at the UPSA Law School alumni and industry dinner in Accra last Friday.
It was on the theme; “Back to the Future: Celebrating the Legacy of our Alma Mater, reliving memories, reconnecting tomorrow.”
The event
The event was held to bring together the various alumni groups to reconnect them to the school and ensure social networking. As part of the occasion, the school also launched an endowment fund with a seed capital of GH¢100,000, donated by the Group Chairman of the Oswal Investment Ltd, Humphrey Williams.
The fund is to bridge the financial gap of needy students of the school.
Alumni
Mrs Dapaah commended the alumni for the multiple roles they had played in ensuring the transformation of the school into one of the premier universities globally. As many of them aspired to assume positions of major influence in society, she said they must always brighten the corner they would find themselves while hoisting high the flag of the school.
“I would like to say that the fame of an institution is hinged not only on its administration and teaching staff but also on the achievement and development of its students and alumni,” Mrs Dapaah said.
