Chris C. Karpee & Egyeriwa Adjoa Okor for SRC President & Vice President | Bluecrest University College
Fellow Students,
I am speaking this not from an office. I am speaking this from the same classrooms you sit in. From the same uncomfortable and faulty benches. From the same heat of faulty ACs we have in our class rooms.
I am Chris C. Karpee, BSc IT, Semester 6. And I am tired.
Tired of sweating through lectures while fans do nothing.
Tired of watching Fashion students share ONE faulty iron among hundreds.
Tired of IT students graduating without ever touching real networking and cyber security equipments.
Tired of BBA students paying for lecturers who don’t show up.
Tired of weekend students being treated like afterthoughts.
But most of all, I am tired of watching INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS suffer in silence.
TO OUR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: WE SEE YOU
You left your countries. Your families. Your comfort.
You came to Ghana with dreams. You paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS —hard-earned money—trusting Bluecrest to give you quality education.
And what do you find?
The hostel is often not that are not conducive. Rooms that don’t feel like home. Facilities that don’t match what you were promised.
Your parents call worried. “Is the place okay? Are you comfortable? Is it worth what we paid?” And you hesitate to answer honestly.
The dollar rate keeps fluctuating. One month your fees are one amount; the next month, it’s different. Your parents back home struggle to keep up. You stress. We all see it.
OUR URGENT SOLUTIONS
| ISSUE | SOLUTION |
| Unconducive hostels | Form International Student Welfare Committee to inspect hostels and report directly to the SRC & administration. |
| Dollar rate instability | Negotiate with school for stable cedi-based payment plans for international students |
| 1 Faulty pressing iron | 3 NEW STEAM IRONS |
| Less media activities | Purchase professional wireless microphones |
| Limited IT practicals | Purchase IT equipments for N+, A+ and cyber security practices and host Hackathons/IT competitions externally and internally |
| NO PRACTICAL N+ & A+ LAB | IT & CYBER SECURITY |
OUR VISION
A Bluecrest where every student thrives—with working equipment, practical skills, and a voice that’s hear
OUR MISSION
To turn student struggles into solutions by:
Fixing what’s broken (irons, machines, ACs, hostels)
Building what’s missing (labs, internet, media platforms)

These screens will display programs, campus announcements, important warnings, podcasts, student achievements, and event highlights, keeping the entire student body informed and engaged. |
| ENTREPRENEURSHIP | – Entrepreneurship Support Initiative – We will create an enabling environment that empowers student entrepreneurs to sell their products more efficiently, expand their businesses beyond campus, and scale to other African markets.
