If you were in charge of the university for one day, what’s the first thing you would do?
Students make the university; without students we won’t exist.
My priority will be enhancing student experience through inclusiveness, students’ involvement in university big changes such as selection of heads of departments and deans. Foster stronger networks with the community and opening the university to host international conferences touching on all major world topics not just focusing on one sector. The university caters for much more than that so why not leverage on other fantastic topics. Lastly, I will ensure the library is up to date with resources, students will get all resources needed for smooth academic performance.
