The new Worthy President of the St. Thomas Aquinas Commandery 911, Lt. Prof. Kwaku Kyeremeh (PhD.), has committed to promoting a diversified front to accommodate students at the University of Ghana.
Addressing the congregation, at the Handing over Parade and Thanksgiving Mass of the Knights of St. John International and Ladies Auxiliary at Legon, Worthy President Kyeremeh urged students to take advantage of the network resources made available to them.
The Order presents itself for mentorship and career direction, and students at the university are encouraged to join groups and societies that promote their socio-cultural and religious development.
He said: “I look forward to building a Commandery that is diversified in its human resources and harnesses its members to drive the agenda of making KSJI911 a pivotal Commandery to initiate cadet and junior auxiliaries who may find themselves in Accra for academic laurels.”
The Commandery has undertaken programs that complement students’ professional growth and development. A career workshop was organized to prepare students for the world of works and also translate their profiles into powerful documents that attract employers.
Also, the Commandery facilitated internship placements to notable public and private institutions based on the career goals and aspirations of the individual. More than 100 students have benefitted from various career development programs of the Commandery.
The Knights of St. John International is a Roman Catholic fraternal organization that stands for Roman Catholic virtues of faith, hope, and charity under a banner of fraternity. Incorporated in 1886, the Noble Order continued to grow inside the United States and currently has representation in Ghana, Canada, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo, Germany, and England. The St. Thomas Aquinas Commandery was inaugurated in October 2017 at the University of Ghana, Legon.
