AUN matriculates Ukrainian returnees

The American University of Nigeria (AUN) has matriculated new students, including returnees from Ukraine.

The university’s Fall 2022 semester began on August 29, with new students, alums, and parents taking the traditional Community Pledge, a statement by the AUN’s spokesperson Mr Daniel Okereke has said.

The Convocation and Pledge ceremony held inside the Lamido Musdafa Commencement Hall also marked the formal beginning of AUN’s 34th uninterrupted semester as the new students pledged to uphold the institution’s core values of excellence, integrity, and service to the Community.

Among the students who matriculated at the ceremony were those who returned from Ukrainian universities following the outbreak of war with Russia, Nigerian students in the Diaspora, and students from Burundi, Togo, Cameroon, and Nigeria.

Many entering students are enrolled in the School of Information Technology and Computing (SITC), which offers undergraduate and graduate degree courses in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science and Analytics, and Information Systems. Many choose the Biomedical degree under the Natural and Environmental Sciences program, which prepares them to study Medicine and related disciplines after graduation. Other popular programs include Engineering, Petroleum Chemistry, Law, Public Health, Accounting, Entrepreneurship Management, and Communication and Multimedia Design, offering specializations in Public Relations and Advertising, Journalism, Multimedia Design, and Radio/Television/Film studies.

Welcoming the new students and their parents to the AUN family, the Interim President of AUN, Professor Attahir Yusuf, identified diversity management as one of the University’s most vital assets.

“At the American University of Nigeria, we celebrate our diversity. We encourage our students to appreciative diversity, to be inclusive in orientation, to promote diversity by respecting individuality. We expect people to have different opinion and beliefs and we accommodate all of these as a close-knitted learning community guided by certain principles”.

The President encouraged the new students to take advantage of the University’s resources for academic and emotional support.

“Here at AUN, every individual is valued, and every individual is also supported and encouraged to be the best they can be. We also demand the very best from our students and strive for them to achieve excellent academic and extra-curricular accomplishments in this community”.

Professor Attahir advised them to exercise their freedom as responsible undergraduates and reiterated the American University of Nigeria’s zero tolerance for sexual harassment, bullying, cultism, hard drugs, academic cheating, and other social vices.

Also speaking, the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Patrick Fay, stressed the AUN advantage, which includes flexibility to choose and change programs.

This small class size encourages closer interaction between students and professors, e-library resources, academic support units to help struggling students, and the American liberal arts curriculum, which requires students to take courses outside their core discipline.
