The Eighth Edition of the Men Cook-Off by students of the Department of Communication and Media Studies at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) provided a platform for men of the department to showcase their culinary skills.
It was a delight to watch men from the postgraduate school display their hidden cooking talents as they prepared and showcased various sumptuous local and continental meals to the delight of their female colleagues, who were lounging around and watching in amusement. The notion that the kitchen is not solely for women was practically demonstrated as the men enthusiastically took on all tasks, ensuring that many finger-licking meals were prepared and served.
This year’s event was unique, as it was graced by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Media, Arts, and Communication, Prof. Eric Opoku Mensah, his wife, senior lecturers from UNIMAC and UEW, senior staff of UEW, and top journalists in the country.
Hosted by a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of UEW, Prof. Andy Ofori-Birikorang, and his wife, Prof. Mavis Amo-Mensa, they underscored the significance of the event in fostering bonds between students and lecturers to create an enabling environment for academic work.
“COMMSA Men Cook-Off is my initiative in its eighth year, which offers both lecturers and postgraduate students the opportunity to network and bond. We have a lot to eat, drink, and dance to good music. Take the opportunity to get to know each other, as this paves the way for greater things,” Prof. Andy Ofori-Birikorang urged.
Executives of COMMSA expressed gratitude to the dignitaries who graced the occasion and assured that future editions would be bigger and better as the family continues to grow with the common purpose of uniting both current and former students at the School of Communication and Media Studies.
