School of Business Supports Student with Hearing Impairment

The School of Business in collaboration with the Association of Business Students, UCC,  has supported a first-year student pursuing Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, Miss. Doris Amissah, with a hearing aid.

The student, who has hearing loss in both ears, required a hearing aid to boost her level of hearing in order to improve her speech and communication abilities in class.

The Dean, Prof. John Gatsi, said the gesture formed part of the School's Corporate Social Responsibility.
