I am confident that your stay in our college enables you to discover yourself and to feel you can contribute something better for society.
You have worked hard during your stay at our University College. Now, you achieved your goals and will have a bright, promising career. We are very proud of your accomplishment.
Dear Graduates,
Life is about growing, and being in our programs gives each of us new opportunities to continue growing and to learn new knowledge and skills that will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Therefore, this graduation is not an end goal itself, instead of a starting point for further achievements. The person who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. I hope you will not stop here, you will continue learning.
For those who have the intention to continue your education and to upgrade your career to the next step, we are very glad to invite you to come back again to your college. Our doors are always open to you.
Finally, I would like to say congratulations once again and wish you good luck with the future ahead.
Thank you very much!
Administrative Vice President Message
Traditionally, we think of graduation as a time of celebration, a rite of passage that opens up the road of the future to our students, and it certainly is that. We recognize and celebrate the achievements of our students during their time with us, and we look forward to their future accomplishments. But in the present moment, we can’t in good faith view the future with rose-tinted glasses.
The journey our soon-to-be graduates will be embarking on is a difficult one. All of us who have gone through this process know that but this time is unique, and we have to acknowledge that the pressures on our grads, though familiar, are also very different from the ones we felt.
Students leaving the GAGE University College are entering a world and a workforce that is unlike the one many of us found ourselves in when we began our working lives. In many ways, true, it is better. We can connect with loved ones across the globe with just the click of a button. Soon, thanks in part to the efforts of researchers here at our very own GAGE Campuses, we may have the luxury of having our cars pick us up and ferry us to our destination without our having to lay a finger on the steering wheel. But the truth is, this is an unnerving moment. People are still worried about finding work even as the economy itself is picking up. The lines that separate us, particularly politically and culturally, seem to be drawn thicker. There is a lot of fear in the world and anxiety about the future.
Much of that anxiety has been felt on our campus. Although a College attempts to create a space for fruitful study for its Campuses and students, it can’t escape reality. We have gone through a lot at GAGE College, particularly in the last year. And yet here we are, about to uphold a time-honored tradition. We do so humbly and with an eye to local, national, and international events, but this is, despite everything, a time of celebration. It’s also a time of thanks.
Campuses, I want to thank you for all of the work you have done, for your research, and for the hours you’ve spent working on curricula that you hope can reach students and light that spark that you know when you see it. Staff, thank you for your work keeping this College running smoothly, from making sure we have the research equipment we need to look after our infrastructure to making payroll.
And graduates, thank you for your diligent studies, for the vibrancy you’ve given this College, and for your passion to defend and pursue what is right. But I also want to ask something of you. We’ve prepared you the best we can. We’ve worked side by side with you. We’ve entrusted you with important research and tried our best to share our knowledge about our work and about this life. As you prepare to leave GAGE University College, I ask you to do something with that knowledge: make a better world. I assure you that this is a great achievement but, should not be the ultimate function of your goal.

(Academic Vice President for Undergraduate and Postgraduate)

Congratulations to all 2020/21 Graduates of our Postgraduate, Undergraduate, and TVET Programs of GAGE College.
It is with the deepest joy that I am intending to convey this congratulatory message on behalf of the GUC Research Publication and Community Service Office and on my behalf.
Dear graduates, a manmade graduated cylinder serves to measure certain volumes of liquid within the range it had been calibrated. Read More
And this nature/capacity lasts long throughout its life span; gradually fading the labeling on due course deteriorating its quality. Contrary to this you are now graduated to voraciously read, eagerly engage yourselves in inquiry and research, and enrich your knowledge, skill, etc so as to be well versed in many areas and develop an all-rounded personality. This enables you to reach an actualization period which possibly makes your beloved motherland beneficiary.

Congratulation to 2020/21 Graduate of GAGE College
Better future ….
In order to realize fast, consistent and sustainable development based on a universal approach with comprehensive centered adaptive technology, it is essential to institute a rational demand-driven participatory program.
To give a little insight into the process, whenever we have high challenges, threats, and problems we should not follow business as a usual approach which is doomed to failure and will end up with negative results and consequences. Read More
On the other hand, we should not also promote radical, silver bullet measures to mitigate the challenges and threats, rather we use innovative, all-inclusive, and adaptive approaches to resolve the challenges and threats in order to have sustainable positive growth.
One of the most critical solutions to achieve this smart option is well thought, analyzed, holistic, concrete, reformist, problem solving, and non-discriminative depending on the economy, age, sex, or any other educational system. One that addresses social, cultural, political, and economic capital building.
Hence, GAGE College in partnership with national and international organizations and institutions has made an effort to establish 21st-century technology-oriented higher education institutions with an endeavor to address the recommended innovative, holistic, and adaptive technology system to change challenges, intimidation, and problems of our country to opportunities and justifiable development.
I am privileged to congratulate you all and extend my best wishes on behalf of Gage College and my own behalf upon the successful completion of your studies.
I am hopeful and confident that your stay in our College enables you to discover
yourself and finally conclude by assuring that YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
This is really a great achievement which can be a springboard to your future life achievements.
It is my pleasure, again, to recall that you have started the journey of shouldering the responsibility of serving your esteemed society in a colorful season that everybody is singing “Ethiopian-ism”. Not only you, the graduate, our College also, is historically lucky of getting this opportunity to equip you with worthy knowledge, attitude and skill which
enable you to put a brick in transforming our motherland.
I am glad to invite you all to come back to your wisdom home, Gage College, as of the next day of your graduation to continue upgrading your academic career to the next step.
Finally, I wish you all the best and mega success in your future life endeavor.

the graduate, our College also, is historically lucky of getting this opportunity to equip you with worthy knowledge, attitude, and skill”

Girma visited several USU campuses over two days, including the Logan campus, USU Eastern-Price, USU-Salt Lake and USU-Brigham City.
Moges Girma and colleagues visit USU Brigham City Campus with Lauri Merrill, Recruiter for Brigham City (left) and Jill Rasmussen, USU Brigham City Director of Student Services (right).

Gary Straquadine, interim chancellor of USU Eastern, David Vernon, executive director of Salt Lake Education Center and Brad Wynn, director of USU’s professional MBA program, met with Girma and colleagues at their respective campuses to discuss the methods of delivering education at a distance.
“USU is a leader in Utah and the nation when it comes to providing distance education,” said Wagner. “It was a great opportunity to share our ideas and innovations to the GAGE College administration, in hopes that they can experience the same successes we have had.”
GAGE College, a private college in Ethiopia, offers degrees comparable to associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s in several categories. The college has five campuses around Addis Ababa, similar to a regional campus model, and has been consistently growing in admissions and programs offered. Girma is building partnerships and agreements with U.S. schools to grow GAGE College.
“GAGE College’s three pillars of teaching, research and community are in alignment with USU’s commitment to community. We look forward to working with Mr. Girma to build relationships, foster international growth and provide experiences for USU students and GAGE students,” said Boettinger.
Boettinger and Galvydis will work with GAGE College on a memorandum of cooperation that can lead to student exchange, international internships, and faculty-led study abroad programs. USU will continue to explore possible cooperation in distance education and open-source educational resources.
