The family of the late Professor Janet Kwami, a distinguished alumna of the University of Ghana’s Communication Studies Department, has made another significant contribution to the department in memory of the renowned Professor of Communication at Furman University, USA.

After a brief meeting with the department’s executives, the family presented drones and computers as a tribute to the lasting impact Prof.  Kwami had on the department’s success.

The donation was graciously accepted by the Head of the Communication Studies Department, Prof. Abena Yeboah Bani, who expressed sincere gratitude to the family for their thoughtful gesture.

She also emphasized the department’s commitment to honoring the late Professor Kwami’s legacy.

“On behalf of the Department of Communication Studies, I receive this donation with deep appreciation. We are truly grateful for your thoughtfulness and commitment to institutionalizing Janet’s connection with the department. We greatly value your support and are ready to journey with you as far as necessary, ensuring that her memory lives on, not only in our hearts but also in the hearts of future students and practitioners of Communication Studies.”

Presentation of the donation

This donation follows a previous one, where the family honored the late professor’s wishes by donating her personal library to the department.

Professor Kwami was a regular presence in the department, actively participating in various activities. She frequently served as a guest lecturer and keynote speaker at events.

Before her untimely passing, she had also collaborated with the department on an academic project, serving as the lead editor. This work has since been published, further cementing her legacy in the academic world.
