Speaking at a meeting with Senior Members of the six Colleges of the University to unveil her vision for the school, she explained that the move comes on the back of the effects of the pandemic on academic work.

“There are plans of increasing access to ICT and digitization infrastructure particularly about the role of ICT in teaching and learning. The Coronavirus caused academic work to be moved online therefore, it has become needful for the inclusion of Smart Technologies for synchronous and asynchronous teaching, learning, assessments, and research and virtual and augmented reality labs for 3D-aided learning. For this cause, KNUST, with the help of philanthropists, would introduce the “SONSOL PROJECT” to support one needy student with one laptop,” she said.

She disclosed that the school will establish an Enterprise Development Unit (EDU) to coordinate and commercialize research and findings.

In the perspective to roll out ‘impactful Research and Innovations’, Prof. Dickson indicated that the institution will create a Young Researchers Forum (YRF) intended to acquire skills in Grantsmanship, Teaching and Research Communications.

She further added that her outfit envisioned introducing the Vice-Chancellor’s Industry Biannual Encounter (VIBE Meetings) as well as enhancing Library Research Support Services.

    Well said Vice chancellor of KNUST . One Needy Student One Laptop is a nice project. I would like to get one laptop for my research studies. How can I get it?. In this Era of Covid-19 going to the library to pick books that’s not available on online becomes an hindrances to those of us who don’t have laptops . In several cases student find it difficult to read on their phones .
    With the help of the laptops, navigating through the internet becomes easier, since the laptop has a large LCD which displays images clearly unlike smart phones which has small LCD screen.
    Finally I would be grateful if I receive one thank you! LONG LIVE KNUST LONG LIVE VICE CHANCELLOR.
