UG
The
Union

Chapel
of
the
University
of

(Legon)
on

November
1959,
with
39

The

ceremony
(official
launch)
took
place
at
Legon

on

1960.
The
first
branch
President
(Legon)
was
Rev.
E.
S.
Mate-Kodjo
(later
Synod
Clerk
of
PCG).
In
1962
the
idea
had
spread
and
other

A

(Students-In-Church-Evangelism),
later
renamed
P-SICE
(Presbyterian
Students

is
one
of
its
hallmark
national
engagement
activities.
