2020 GRADUATION WEEK AT HCC

DAY 1: Depart U.S. for Ghana

(Last year we allowed everyone to schedule their own flights for convenience and efficiency – our goal is to have everyone arrive in Accra on the same day if possible)

DAY 2: Arrive in Ghana, check-in at hotel

(We will reserve hotel rooms in advance for everyone in Accra so we can all stay in the same hotel)

DAY 2: Evening Dinner and introductions to HCC faculty and HCCF trip hosts

(Meals are prepared for in advance and will offer a blend of US/Ghanaian cuisine)

DAY 3: Pre-Graduation Events on HCC Campus

(This day is full of activities designed to introduce you to students, faculty, and various on and off campus activities such as: CEPE elevator pitch contest, visits to multiple student lead start-up businesses, Q&A sessions with faculty and students, DINNER ON CAMPUS and more…)

DAY 4: Graduation Day at HCC

(This will be a LONG and potentially HOT day – and you will cherish every minute, we promise!)

DAY 5: A.M. Worship in Accra and leave for Elmina Castle/Cape Coast Tour

(We will spend the night at Cape Coast and then head to Elmina Castle in the morning)

DAY 6: Elmina Castle Tour and visit to Village of Hope

DAY 7: Return to Accra, meet with Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah and faculty, leave to airport for return trip to U.S.

(Flights generally leave from Accra to the U.S., late at night, so prepare for a long day/night)
