Stephen C. Alder, PhD, MBA

Over the past 8 years, Ensign Global College has emerged as a quality academic institution focused on improving lives through education, research, and community-engaged service. We originally launched as Ensign College of Public Health with a single focus on the field of public health. In 2021 the College was rebranded as Ensign Global College to emphasize our intentions to extend beyond public health to include other fields and disciplines and to highlight our growing network of global partnerships, connections, and impact.

As part of this rebranding, we also established the Three Pillars of Ensign Global College: Leadership, Professionalism, and Entrepreneurship. We accept the responsibility that our institution is to be an agent of prosperity for Ghana, West Africa, and the world. The Three Pillars were selected because they are fundamental to achieving this aim. Everyone who joins our Ensign Global community – people we refer to as Ensonians – is challenged to adopt these pillars and to join us in advancing prosperity wherever they have influence.

Ensign Global College is dedicated to providing globally recognized education through our existing and planned programs. Whether it is our formal degree-granting programming, like the Master of Public Health, or our growing professional education offerings, we continue to seek those who are willing to take upon themselves the mantle of what it means to be an Ensonian.

We also recognize the importance of hosting groups and organizations from Ghana and around the world who come to our campus to likewise join us in the pursuit of creating a prosperous and peaceful world.   Over the past 10 years, we have many notable accomplishments. We have finished the first phase of our world-class campus. We have launched and continually operated our Master of Public Health in affiliation with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with accreditation from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (formerly the National Accreditation Board).

We have partnered with global institutions like the University of Utah (US) and the University of Oxford (UK). Most notably, we have graduated students who are now engaged in promoting well-being on locally, nationally, and globally. We are grateful to our founders and primary benefactors, Lynette and Robert Gay, who have supported our efforts and who have given us the dual charge of impacting people’s lives for good and continually finding better ways to do so. We are inspired by the trust they have put in us to do so and are dedicated to making our next decade one of growth and greater impact.

Respectfully,

President Stephen C. Alder
