Ashesi University

Ashesi’s 2025 staff and faculty retreat, the first since the launch of our Beyond the Horizon Strategic Plan, served as a moment to reflect on progress and align teams for consolidating gains. The retreat also provided a chance for faculty and administrators to reflect on immediate next steps for Ashesi’s strategic plan.

The vision of Ashesi University is a flourishing Africa whose leaders make ethical decisions in the best interests of their communities and an Africa where innovation drives economic, cultural, and social growth. We educate leaders who will make this vision a reality and collaborate with other institutions to multiply this work.
