A total of 734 students were last Friday matriculated into the 37 Military Nursing and Midwifery Training College (37 NMTC).
They are the first batch to pursue Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Midwifery at the College, which is affiliated to the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
The Acting Principal of the College, Major Bright Attah Addae, in his address urged the trainees to take their academic work seriously and build social connections. "Success is not only about grades but also about the skills you acquire, the values you embody and the resilience you develop," he stated. "I therefore encourage you all to stay devoted in your development, maintain mindful self-care as stress mounts, and above all stay true to the noble profession and human spirit that called you here," Mr Addae said.
The Vice-Chancellor of the UCC, Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong, in a speech on his behalf by the Director of Academic Affairs, Mr Atta Yeboah-Sarpong, urged the students to live up to the values of 37 NMTC such as discipline, as they strove for excellence.
