The eighth edition of the “Men Cook Off” by the Department of Communication and Media Studies at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) provided a platform for male students to showcase their culinary skills.

It was a delight to watch men from the postgraduate school display their hidden skills in cooking as they prepared and showcased various sumptuous local and continental meals to the delight of their female colleagues.

The notion that the kitchen was not only made for the women was given a practical explanation as the men, with enthusiasm, took on all tasks and ensured that a lot of finger-licking meals were prepared and served.

This year’s event was unique as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Media, Arts and Communication(UNIMAC) Prof. Eric Opoku Mensah, his wife, senior lecturers of UNIMAC and UEW as well as senior senior staff and top journalists in the country were present.

Hosted by a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the UEW, Prof. Andy Ofori-Birikorang and his wife, Prof Mavis Amo-Mensa, at their home, they underscored the significance of the event, which enables students and lecturers to bond and create an enabling environment for academic work.

“COMMSA men cook off ” is my initiative in the 8th year, which offers both lecturers and postgraduate students the opportunity to network and bond very well. We have a lot to eat, drink and dance to good music. Take the opportunity to get to know yourselves as this paves the way for greater things”, Prof. Ofori-Birikorang urged.

Executives of COMMSA expressed gratitude to dignitaries who graced the occasion and assured that subsequent editions will be bigger and better.

They emphasised the need for the family to continue to spread with a common purpose of uniting both current and former students of the School of Communication and Media Studies.
