Ebenezer’s Vision for the Society

“As a visually impaired student from a marginalised background and a passionate advocate for disability rights, inclusion and representation are not just values to me — they are lived principles.

As Secretary of our growing Ghanaian Student Society, my goal is to work closely with the executive team to position our society as a vibrant and visible force within Oxford’s student community. I will strive to ensure that our shared Ghanaian voice is actively recognised and valued in all university discussions and initiatives.

Together, I believe we can strengthen our presence and make a lasting impact across Oxford.”
