The Kick-off Event of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Chapter (KNUST) took place on February 26, 2005. The Vibrants, an acapella group on campus, began the program with a musical interlude.

The chairman shared his honor and enthusiasm to champion this course of democracy. He called on the media, business communities, and non-governmental bodies to come together to support this most important endeavor. Following this was the chapter president's inaugural speech, in which he appealed to his fellow youth to help bring about positive change in the greater society by first making positive changes in their own lives.

The chapter’s faculty advisor spoke about its recent activities, also making reference to the current world situation, especially the emerging Togo issue and urged the appropriate bodies to take immediate action in resolving the issues.

Students from the senior secondary schools were invited to observe the launching. Representatives from Technology Secondary School and Opoku Ware Secondary School also attended. Junior chapters have been established in Technology Secondary School, Opoku Ware Secondary School, and Saint Monica's Girls Secondary School. Following the ceremony, Kwame and the chapter officers talked with the younger students regarding their role in SWA.

Leading up to this event a “Clean Up” exercise was arranged with the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA). Simeone Azoska, Abena Mensima Quarm and Daniel Boateng spoke on Focus Fm, a campus radio station, about the history of SWA both in Ghana and globally. In addition to Focus FM, other media houses were invited to the event, including Ghana Broadcasting cooperation, TV3 network, Kessben Fm, Spirit Fm and Luv Fm.
