Student Emmanuel Amissah models a stunning Ghanian robe which is on display at Lakeside Arts Centre.

The robe was presented to Chairman of the Alumni Laureate Awards Panel, Mike McNamara, by Chris Skilton on behalf of the people of Northern Ghana.

Mike was made an Honorary Chieftain in recognition of the financial support given by the University’s alumni to CEDIS, a micro-financing project, which was founded by Chris, a 2008 finance, accounting and management graduate.

The project is helping to alleviate poverty in the rural region of Ghana and earned Chris a 2010 Alumni Laureate Award.

The robe will be on display in the Crafts Cabinet at Lakeside Arts Centre, University Park, until Thursday 31 March.
