Students benefits from Hensard University educational materials to boost academic excellence

As part of its efforts to promote learning and academic excellence among students, Hensard University has distributed free educational materials to students of the University.

The items, which include branded school books and backpacks, came as a product of the University’s partnership with the Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation (HSDF).

This initiative, according to University Management, aimed at saving students money on educational supplies as well as fostering academic excellence.

Speaking during the presentation of the items to the students, Prof. Shedrack Jatau, the University’s Director of Academic Planning, said the donations was a fulfilment of the pledge made by Senator Seriake Dickson, the Founder of HSDF, to reduce the cost of education as well as provide the  students with the basic educational materials needed for learning.

He therefore charged the students to be good ambassadors of Hensard University by studying hard to make their dreams come true.

“The educational materials have been fully branded to reflect the insignia and core values of the university. As students of Hensard University, you must always imbibe the virtues of good behaviour encapsulated in the 12 core values of the university.

“You must uphold good conduct and leverage on these educational items to achieve academic excellence,” Jatau said.

Responding on behalf of the students, one of the beneficiaries, Sawyer Tare,  a first-year Software Engineering student, expressed delight in the gesture.

“I am very happy to have received this school bag and school books. These items will help me so much in my studies and it has saved me the cost of buying new notebooks and school bag,” he said.

Also, Destiny Godday, a visibly-excited Accounting student, while showing off her new bag, said, ”

I feel so excited about my school bag and books. It would have been very expensive if I were to buy them from the market. I am so grateful to Hensard University and the Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation.”

For Victoria Lawrence Idipiye, a student of (Political Science & International Relations), was all smiles as she tightly hugged her new bag bulging with school supplies.

“I feel very excited and delighted because not many universities would do things like these for their students. I just want to say a very big thank you to my University and the Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation,” she said.
