Regent-Ghana Alumni

Speculation was rife that King’s Campus was up for sale. Except this was no speculation, for an advertisement offering the facility for sale had really appeared in the Daily Graphic on Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Many Regent-Ghana Alumnus greeted the news with mixed feelings. The question was, how could our Kings’ Campus, the most impressive edifice of pride which all affiliated to Regent-Ghana boasts of, be up for sale?

The news put the alumni leadership under severe pressure because many an alumnus would call to confirm the news and request reasons. In staying true to their mandate, the alumni leadership contacted the management of Regent to request reasons for the sale. A meeting was subsequently convened between representatives of the Regent-Ghana alumni and the university’s management on January 23, 2012. This unveiled the reasons Kings was up for sale and the need to move to McCarthy Hill. The meeting commenced at about 09:45a.m and lasted a little over an hour.  Present were the following:



1. Rev. Prof. E. Kingsley Larbi –  President & CEO Regent
2. Mr. Albert Kobina Amonoo –  Vice Pres. Admin. &  Dev.
3. Mr. Victor Ofinam-Antwi –  Public Affairs Manager
4. Prof.  Kweku Appiadu-Adu – Office of the President
5. Mr. Edward Dorsaa –  Admin. Assistant, President’s Office
6. Rudolf Akrong – now at Tigo – Regent Alumnus
7. Christian Asante – now at NHIS –  Regent Alumnus

At the meeting, Prof Larbi outlined a brilliant plan for the move to McCarthy Hill which made the sale of Kings’ Campus a step in the right direction. The plan proved to be so grand that the sale of the campus can best be described as moving from glory to glory.
So why is King’s Campus being sold? The answer is very simple; it is part of a grand plan to lead us to the “Promised Land” (McCarthy Hill). Going by a document on the time lines for the move to McCarthy Hill handed over to us by the President and CEO, proceeds from the sale of King’s Campus can possibly finance the construction of three hostels and three academic blocks at the future main campus.

The President also mentioned other strategic plans facilitating the move to McCarthy Hill. A key aspect of this strategy is the need to make maximum and effective use of existing infrastructure at City Campus and McCarthy Hill between time of the sale of King’s Campus and the completion of the McCarthy Hill project (Click here to view the critical Time Lines). 
It is believed that a move to McCarthy Hill will be of exponential benefit to both students and management, because of the following:

So, what do we resolve as an alumni? 
That, based on the information available to us, we will communicate the plan to all relevant    people we come into contact with;

Regent-Ghana Alumni Association Launched


The launch of the newly formed Regent University College of Science and Technology Alumni Association, known as the Royals, took place on the 21st August, 2010 at the City Campus. The theme was: Alumni, The medium for sustaining institutional image and enhanced networking in the corporate world.

The Guest of Honour, Mr. Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, was represented by Mr. Alex Gyabah, a director at the Ministry of Local Government. In his speech read on his behalf, Mr. Afriyie-Ankrah said alumni associations over the world served as agencies through which institutions gain assistance in terms of infrastructure and human resources. He said although Government will keep its promise of creating jobs, it needs the effort of the private sector to augment that effort.

Rev. Prof. Kingsley Larbi, President and CEO of Regent University College of Science and Technology, called on the nation's universities to provide education that is of international standard. Since the world has become a global village, students must be trained in a way that will enable them work both locally and internationally. Prof. Larbi further elaborated that the time has come for Africa to nurture leaders who will be more compassionate about the problems confronting the continent.

Mr. Francis Agbewali, the Alumni Relations Officer, stated that as part of the fifth year anniversary, the time has come for the university's alumni to be organised. He further explained that the association would be a medium for sustaining Institutional Image and enhancing networking in the corporate world.

The ceremony was spectacular as it provided the opportunity for alumni to meet their mates whom they have not met for years and exchange contacts for further networking.
