We students had a rare opportunity to glean from the professional impartation of these worthy men and women, who shared life experiences and encouraged us to forge ahead in life and be the best we can ever be as we make critical career choices.
In a well-organized event put together by the Marketing Department of the college and a committee for the Careers’ Day, the programme commenced from the college Dining Hall, where all dignitaries were introduced and the students motivated through a short talk by Mr. Ejike Ugwu and Mr. Ogunbode, both alumnae of the college. They were pragmatic enough to share some of their time with the college conveying how they were able to make positive and critical decisions which helped them later in life.
With rooms properly allocated to cater for different careers, students moved to where they belonged and interacted with designated professionals. Apart from these, there were interludes of informal ambiance, where networking and interactions could take place between the professionals and students.
Some highlights included Skype calls from Ms. MRS. LOLA OGUNSANYA addressing the students from the UK and a riveting and engaging presentation by Mr. D. Fatimilehin.
