Ashesi President Honoured For Education Leadership in Africa
In recognition of his work in higher education in Africa, Ashesi President Patrick Awuah was named one of three 2025 Sunhak Peace Prize laureates during a ceremony held in Seoul, South Korea. An honourary degree award from Sun Moon University followed Awuah’s acceptance of the Prize and further recognized his leadership and impact.
“What Korea’s history, Ashesi’s experience, and the spirit of the Sunhak Peace Prize all teach us: is that investing in youth, education, and leadership, creates a ripple effect—benefiting not just one country or region, but our entire global community.”
