Event Photography
Ashesi has a photography team capturing the entire Commencement event. To make sure that official photographers can get the best of our graduates on Graduation day, we do not allow external photographers around the Commencement stage during the ceremony. Within a week of the event, the Alumni Relations Office will share photos with graduates and their families. Commercial photographers are urged to contact the External Relations Office for a photographer pass, or risk being denied entry into the ceremony grounds.
 
Livestream and Social Media
The event will be streamed live on Ashesi’s Facebook and YouTube channels. You are welcome to share your photos and videos using hashtags #Ashesi2019 and #atAshesi on Twitter and Instagram. There will be live tweets of the event using the same hashtag.
 
Parking
Parking is available on campus for guests attending the Commencement ceremony. Ashesi’s security team will be on hand to provide assistance to the designated spots. Please note that parking is restricted around the field.


As we approach Commencement day, additional information and updates will be shared on social media and via emails. If you have questions relating to the event, please contact info@ashesi.edu.gh or +233.302.610.330.
