Celebrating achievements one degree at a time
NUST graduates ready for the next chapter
The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) recently celebrated its 2023 cohort of graduates in Windhoek.
Proud parents and nervous NUST graduates filled the halls of the Mercure Hotel on 25 and 26 April, anxiously waiting for their names to be called.
Many had longed for this moment where their name would be attached to a degree they earned after many sleepless nights over the years.
Various faculties, such as the faculties of commerce, human sciences, and education; computing and informatics; engineering and the built environment; health, natural resources, and applied sciences, celebrated the many years of hard work and dedication these students had shown to reach this point.
Hard work pays off
It was indeed an emotional day on 26 April as NUST student Paulus Mungeyi graduated with his doctor of philosophy in natural resources science (agriculture).
His thesis was named: 'Investigating the Implications of the Namibian Biosafety Regulations on Processed Food and Feed Importers: A Critical Review.'
Mungeyi was seen leaving the stage with tears of joy, a true testament to how hard work pays off. But Mungeyi was not the only NUST graduate who excelled in his academics and deserved recognition.
Recognition deserved
Another NUST student who was awarded for exceptional achievements was Tangeni Shikudule, who graduated with his certificate in ethical hacking and information security (NQF:7). Shikudule was awarded the vice-chancellor’s medal for academic achievement. This award is given to students who have completed their degree in the given time period without failing or repeating any modules with an average grade of 75 percent or above.
It is without a doubt safe to say that obtaining a degree at any level and in any field is not an easy task.
Business management honours graduate Hella Nghifindaka said: “As long as you have that dedication and perseverance, you can make it through.”
NUST is also celebrating its Eenhana satellite campus graduation on 3 May where equal enthusiasm will reign.
