University of Technology, Ja Student Handbook

“EXC E L L E NC E THROUGH KNOWL E DG E ” 3 It is with the highest sense of duty and a sheer spirit of joy, that I extend warm greetings to our new and returning students for the 2022–2023 academic year. The past two years may have undoubtedly been the hardest test on our resilience and capacity to remain steadfast in the face of adversity. I congratulate your commitment to academic achievement and wish for your continued success on your journey ahead. As your President, I can assure you that the UTech Students’ Union Council 2022–2023 is primed to fulfill our motto, “To Serve and To Represent”. This body of elected and appointed advocates are dedicated to filling the gaps that often divide the student body and the University through leading effective communication and initiatives within the Campus that will enable real change through cultural enrichment, student development, financial support and community outreach. The council will lead with professionalism, transparency and accountability, at all levels. For this academic year we are guided by the theme “Redefining Student Experience; Rebuilding a Legacy” and this is in line with our vision of ensuring your student experience is one that is of superior standard; while rebuilding the rich legacy of opportunities for student engagement and development through different projects and initiatives executed by the council. The University and by extension the country are gradually recovering from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hope is that “Campus life” as many would have come to know it before 2019 will return in September 2022 – albeit with a few changes – but largely geared at making the overall student experience richer, purposeful, and safe. I encourage you to participate and stay up to date with our projects and initiatives by connecting to our social media platforms (@utechstudentsunion), building on networks through our engagements, and ultimately increase your personal growth. Once again, I congratulate you on taking this new step in your academic journey and wish for you much success during your time here at the Birthplace of Greatness.
