UniMAC male graduate sweeps top honours with 1st-class

At the first session of the University of Media, Arts and Communication’s (UniMAC) fourth congregation last Friday, Eugene Gyamfi Ansong emerged as a star graduate, securing a double victory.

He graduated with first-class honours, attaining an impressive Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.87, which earned him the awards for Best Graduating Male Student and Best Graduating Student from the Faculty of Business and Strategic Communication.

Mr. Ansong took home a laptop, accessories and GH?5,000 in cash, presented during the university’s graduation ceremony at the Dzorwulu Campus, with sponsorship from the Lebanese Embassy and Prudential Bank, respectively.

Speaking to the media after the awards ceremony, he expressed profound gratitude to God for making the achievement possible and secondly to his family for the financial support that afforded him the sound mind to study.

He described the recognition as a pivotal milestone that will significantly influence and shape his professional journey.

“I am deeply humbled by this honour coming from a humble background and I hope this achievement will inspire fellow students to pursue excellence and strive to make a meaningful impact in their chosen fields,” he said.

UniMAC graduates 897 students

UniMAC graduated 897 students from various programmes at its fourth congregation. Among the graduates, 803 students came from the Institute of Journalism (IJ), 53 from the Institute of Languages (IL) and 41 from the Institute of Film and Television (IFT).

The ceremony marked a milestone in the university’s commitment to nurturing media, communication and creative arts professionals for national development.

It was held on the theme ‘Persuasion: Media, Communication and Influence of the Creative Arts for 21st-Century Education’.

Speaking at the ceremony last Friday, November 28, the Vice-Chancellor of UniMAC, Professor Eric Opoku Mensah, congratulated the graduates on their achievement, urging them to see their education not only as a personal milestone but as a tool for national transformation.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate excellence, affirm purpose and unleash a future generation of storytellers, analysts, communicators, translators, brand custodians, broadcasters, filmmakers and creative innovators who will not just observe change but lead it,” he said.

Prof. Mensah highlighted the rapid pace of technological change, saying that artificial intelligence, digital platforms and emerging media technologies are reshaping communication, governance and commerce.

Drawing on global examples, he pointed to the role of communication and media in movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Arab Spring, emphasising that graduates must leverage their skills to lead with integrity and impact.

“This year, we celebrate 897 graduands, comprising 676 females and 221 males. Among you, 109 have earned First Class honours, 486 Second Class Upper, 261 Second Class Lower, 86 Third Class and 15 Passes. Congratulations on proving your perseverance and dedication,” Prof. Mensah added.

Chairman of the Governing Council, Prof. Wilberforce S. Dzifa, commended UniMAC for its unique mandate as the country’s only specialised public university dedicated to media, communication and creative arts.

He highlighted the university’s deployment of a Learning Management System, enabling e-learning and digital engagement.

“Our graduates are Generation Z leaders equipped to leverage technology responsibly, ensuring that media, communication and creative arts continue to drive national development and cultural preservation,” he added.
