Dear Graduates of 2010

  It is with great pleasure I greet you all on this grand occasion of the annual commencement. This year’s graduation is hailed with myriad of accomplishments enabling us to meeting with the needs through the implementation of newer and dynamic strategies- ensuring the revitalization of our university.

Producing of competent, problem solving and full-fledged students is one worth-noting goal that we have set which of course topped all the agenda on the table. Hence, to put this in effect, establishing conducive environment and up-to-standard academic ambit is quite inevitable. Thus, since the last couple of years, we are in a massive expansion campaign; new libraries, laboratories, dormitories and classrooms across the three campuses are on the last phase of completion and some are already put in use. And, this well help us to enhance the services that we provide for our students expanding access and opportunities for quality education, and the community around through carrying out researches grounded in responding to the pressing problems-ensuring a better life.

UoG in collaboration with Jhpiego, Ethiopia establish a skill development laboratory at the College of Medical and Health sciences. The laboratory is inaugurated by the top management of the university and Jhpiego’s country Director Miss. Anna Gypson and other invited guests from various universities.

During the opening ceremony it was made clear that the main objective behind establishing the laboratory are; to provide practical skills to students independently from the hospital, to make students equipped with competency based training and to avoid inconveniencies and ethical problems that probably could occur during practice.
