The Van Bemmelen Library has donated books to the Walton Whaley Library of VVU, an effort led by Dr. Isaac Fordjour, a key member of the University’s book drive committee. This initiative is part of a broader mission to enhance the Library’s resources at Valley View University.

On November 9, 2024, Valley View University marked its 32nd graduation ceremony with a combined Baccalaureate and Retirees service, bringing together moments of spiritual reflection and celebrating excellence within its community. The service included the Sabbath School session and a series of awards highlighting the achievements of students and staff. Twelve students from the Oyibi, Techiman and Kumasi campuses were honoured for their exemplary behaviour and contribution to the growth of the institution. At the same time, four university choir members received certificates for their dedication and service. Additionally, the University recognised ten retirees who contributed significantly to VVU’s beginnings and development through their commitment and service.
