The Dean for School of Applied Sciences and Industrial Arts at the Bolgatanga Technical University Dr. Rolland Wemgah has said, the exhibition exercise showcased by students as part of their SASA week celebration was to create that public awareness about what the students have been doing for the past year. The Institution launched the first-ever, Bolgatanga Technical University School of Applied Science and Art- SASA celebration on Wednesday, June 26, 2023, with the theme: Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship: The Role of TVET. Meanwhile, according to the Dean Dr. Wemgah, the aim is simple, is to showcase to the world what students of BTU have been doing over the years, especially the practical related works. “We just want to bring it down to interact with the public”. He said As you can see, students from the second-scale institutions are here, they came to interact with us to learn what we do. They can come to our school if they want to pursue their technical education. “We have an art exhibition coming from the Industrial Art, and equally, you can see the Medical Laboratory technicians were also doing some free health screening for the public and all those coming for the exhibition, the catering Institutional management is showcasing a lot of meals currently at Bazar. On Friday evening, the celebration saw the Industrial Art Department showcasing more fashion products to officials of the Ghana Tourism Board, personalities in craft development, and some other organizations who were present. “We have been impacting a lot of students and practically we are impacting a lot of lives. In our catchment area, we think, we are the preferred institution to study if they decided to study at the University”. I can confidently say that we are well-poised to admit all these students in case they decided to join us. We have adequate laboratories and studios to be able to train them to acquire more skills. As you can see on the ground, these are all our students, and all the work you see today are there products, so you can attest to the fact that, if they are not well trained they wouldn’t have been able to produce all these things. So, I can tell you we are training our students adequately. Dr. Wemgah explained Expressing satisfaction, the SASA President, Abugri Salamatu Bertha, revealed that in the history of the Institution, this is the first time a SASA celebration is introduced. She said, the school’s main focus for the celebration was to market BTU activity and as well showcase student’s handwork and creativity to the general public. The celebration was organized in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Art, Department of Hotel Catering and Institutional Management, Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Department of Liberal Studies and Department of Statistics.
