The Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Professor Mavis Dako-Gyeke, on the 1st of July 2024 organized the maiden Student-Industry Meeting (SIM) to prepare its students, especially final year students for the world of work.
The event under the theme “Empowering our Students for the World of Work” was held at the Cedi Conference Center, which was filled to capacity with students.
