Nonetheless, I continue to maintain
a high GPA. Presently, I am serving in the executive position of
President in the Computer Hardware and Information Processing

I am successfully fulfilling objectives within my manifesto.
Therefore, as I continue to follow my heart as it lights the path
to my future, I am vying for the office of Vice President of
Academic Administration because of the level of dedication and
determination displayed in all that I do as well as the passion I
have for a better future for our students. It is through this position;
I believe I can bring ultimate change to our academic and holistic
experience.

Manifesto
Should I be elected Vice President of Academic Administration
of the United Student Movement, I will ensure that I advocate for
the incorporation and enhancement of programs and policies that
will strengthen and boost our university environment on behalf of
the student body. My priority is to ensure students are given the
best opportunities this world has to offer. With that being said,
introducing my three-point plan:
Innovation as the Drive, Certification as the Prize, Education as
the Key (I.C.E)
1. Innovation as the Drive
It is one thing to innovate, but another to utilize these
inventions. This generation is blessed with several inventions
that can be used to develop our institution. With these resources
an arm’s length away. I believe I can readily incorporate suitable
technology to improve the learning experience of our students.
I also believe that students should be provided with such
opportunities to develop their skills and talents. As such partner
with Institutional Research and honors society to allocate funds
to equip them with these gadgets. Providing students with the
opportunity to innovate, advance, and develop their skills with the
use of different technology readily available to us. For example,
editing software and drawing tools for students of DCS and Art
department, respectively.

2. CERTIFICATION AS THE PRIZE
Professional certifications, without a doubt, give our
achievements and skill levels tremendous legitimacy, but many
are daunting and not everyone achieves them. Professional
certifications are important whether you are trying to open a path
to a new profession or to advance the career you are currently
in. Therefore, the availability of international certification will
be made readily available to our students, as their development
is at heart. As such, I will implement a certification programme
geared towards providing students with a list of short, innovative
certification courses which can be coupled with their degree
programme to enhance their qualifications for Job Hunting upon
graduation.
3. Education as the Key
Ignoring the academic issues of a student or taking too long
to look for assistance perpetuates a cycle of dissatisfaction and
disappointment. Therefore, I plan to implement a new and improved
tutoring programme, welcoming tutors from each department to
assist students in need of help with significant courses. Students
will be allowed to apply to become tutor a course of their choice
prior to the new semester. To maintain each tutor, they will be
compensated at the end of the semester once the required

hours are completed with students. I am sure this will spark more
excitement in our tutoring programme.
Other objectives include the hosting of academic motivational
sessions, mentorship programmes, practical workshops and improvement
of the delivery of courses.
