The GCCI president said this during a visit to Wisconsin to view the institution’s facilities and discuss future linkages between the university and the business sector.

Dr Dankawoso, whose role it is to help create an environment conducive for businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive, said he was ‘highly impressed’ by the school’s infrastructure and facilities, particularly the new state-of-the-art Nursing skills lab.

“My job is not just to admonish businesses to do better, it is also to encourage and say ‘well done’ to those who are doing well. I am highly impressed with what you have achieved so far. This (Nursing Skills Laboratory) must be one of the best kept secrets,” said Nana after touring the university’s facilities.

He added that extending support to Wisconsin would be easier, as it had“already done 90% of the job”.

Dr Dankawoso also dropped into a Nursing class and interacted with some of the students on the recently launched BSc Nursing programme.

Among the issues discussed with the Wisconsin’s Chancellor Dr Paul K. Fynn were:

opportunities for capital investment from overseas funders;
training opportunities for IT staff in India and China;
access to internships for students across the GCCI network; and
opportunities to tap into funding for community projects, for example in health.

The GCCI president was received by Wisconsin’s Chancellor; the Chairman of the University Council, Justice Isaac Duose; the Registrar, Mr Frank Yeboah, and Dr Carlos Arrow, Dean of the School of Nursing.

Also present were the Public Relations/Communications Officer Mrs Victoria Chimbwanda, Secretary to the Dean of the School Nursing, Mrs Olivia Acheampong, and the Estates Manager, MrAndrewOseiOwusu.
