Ghanaian rapper Guru, currently in his final year at the University of Ghana, has discussed his experience as the Students' Representative Council (SRC) President in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.
Reflecting on his journey from being a performer to leading the students, he expressed his feelings on being the SRC President at the University of Ghana.
"To me, it's a great step. It's been a long time coming. We've been here in the showbiz doing all these performances, and also, so to me, venturing into the academic space was quite a challenge. And leading the entire student populace is also a good feeling because these were some of the things I was hoping to, at least, embark on before finishing school. So, I feel good about it," he said.
Asked about his reason for vying for such high heights in the prestigious university, he stressed impacting lives.
"So, I was looking at a space where I can impact in the entire jurisdiction. Basically, it wasn't just limited to myself in the space of music; we impact lives, not just performances. Now that I'm a student, I have to be able to think beyond that or think outside the box. Basically, what I did was try to conceptualize the whole thing, either in the space of music while I was a student or venturing into the so-called academic space, whereby you're kind of leading the whole space in terms of the student populace."
Guru continued, "So, I was looking at either vying for a position around my department or a departmental position. I was also looking at a certain space whereby I can impact. Then I realized limiting it to just some sector of the whole institution won't be the best. Let me go for the bigger picture. The bigger goal that will spearhead the happenings of the entire student populace. I was like, okay, let me go for the SRC,” he noted.
Guru explained what brought him up to speed or what was behind his winning vote.
"To me, with music as a fraternity, it has always been a bit of something. I normally don't like going to that space in terms of discussion because, coming out, I was projecting a certain content. I've been projecting content, and the dynamics in music will switch the conversation at the end of the day," he said.
Guru's leadership as SRC President at the University of Ghana showcases his dedication to serving the student community and making a positive impact.
