She explained that these resources would equip students with essential skills for excelling in their studies.
Professor Dickson further encouraged students to make maximum use of the services of the Directorate of Students Affairs, the KNUST Counselling Centre and all the support systems available to enrich their KNUST experience.

Set high academic goals, push yourself beyond your limits, and take advantage of every opportunity this University provides, she counselled,” the Vice Chancellor advised
