Celebrating ten years since their graduation from Ashesi, a representative from the Class of 2012 joined the Commencement Stage to help welcome the Class of 2022 to the Ashesi Alumni Community, a Commencement tradition since 2019.
The Class also gave GHs80,805 to Ashesi to support scholarships for students, with a record 85% of members contributing to the gift. The gift allows us to complete our first #StepUp4Ashesi campaign, as Ashesi alumni have collectively raised $60,000 for Ashesi since 2018. This unlocks another $50,000 in funding from Elma Philanthropies as a matching gift to Ashesi.
"We are committing the gift to support Ashesi's scholarship programme, which helped many of our financially constrained colleagues come through this university," read Priscilla Opoku '12, who spoke on behalf of the Class. "We hope that it will help many others do the same."
