The university’s convocation is represented by Professor Anthony Amoah (professorial), Dr. Sam-Quarcoo Dotse (non-professorial teaching) and Dr. Andrew Kofi Taayeli (non-professorial, non-teaching).
The council also features representatives from the various unions and student bodies: Mr. Louis Yaw Akakposu (Senior Staff), Mr. Eric Nartey (Junior Staff), Ms. Jennifer Teiko Larbi (SRC President), Mr. Ezekiel Teye Nartey Adjorlolo (Graduate Students) and Mr. Sarfo Okyere Kore (Alumni).
