The commencement of a new session and start of a new semester is always accompanied with great expectations and time of new connections, the academic building and faculty lounges are always a beehive of activities. Staff are excited preparing their offices and minds to welcome both old and new students. This is the time of the academic calendar that is most exciting.
It is therefore my honour, and pleasure to welcome both Faculty board members staff and our esteemed students, especially all the freshers to the Faculty of Humanities Management and Social Sciences (FHMSS) of Arthur Jarvis University (AJU), Akpabuyo. It will interest you to know that the FHMSS is the most populated faculty in our institution. The FHMSS academic programmes include Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, Criminology, Economics, English Language, Marketing, Mass Communication, Peace & Conflict Resolution, Public Administration, Political Science, Sociology and Tourism.
For the academic staff who are new to our very vibrant faculty, we are happy to have you on board, thank you for joining us. To all returning and dedicated colleagues, thank you for your continued sacrifices, commitment, and loyalty to our course. I remain in awe of the perseverance of each faculty staff.
As we welcome our new students to the beginning of this new academic session, we look forward to serving every one of you with an education comparable with global best practices, such that will help you fulfil your dreams. We are committed to do everything possible to equip our students with the best possible teaching methods and resources, true life exposures and experiences via field trips practicum, so that they are able to shape their lives and career for the rapidly challenging world out there.
Students are encouraged to make good use of every school facility available, the faculty is blessed with an ever-growing E-library, enormous and current literatures in our library to enhance scholarship and research. Academic staff are available for mentoring. I have no doubts whatsoever that this academic session shall be an exciting one as we sojourn together in our ever-bubbling Faculty.
