The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Mawutor Avoke, in his address, pledged that Management would furnish matriculants with UEW’s own brand of comprehensive training for them to become a source of enlightenment to society. “This knowledge-driven experience, based on exceptional academic facilities and inspired by our amazing community of academics and staff, will undoubtedly provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime university experience.”  

Prof. Avoke indicated that the University had widely expanded and provided WiFi access to the point that wherever students were within the University environment, they could easily access WiFi. 

He implored the matriculants to view their matriculation as a process to develop themselves in positive ways. “I beseech you to strive for integrity and sincerity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, proven values, and a positive attitude to work. These would set you apart from the rest, igniting a spark that would diminish the darkness of ignorance among our people, the world over and prove to the world that you were truly nurtured from the University of Excellence.”
