INTRODUCTION
On the 22nd August, 2022 the Students’ Financial Support Office in collaboration with the Design Thinking and Innovative Hub (D-HUB) organized an Awardees’ Symposium for its beneficiaries. The purpose of the symposium was to provide students with the requisite soft skills for life. The programme also made a call on them to be innovative and venture into entrepreneurship and create more employment opportunities after school. Topics treated were developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset, Spotting Opportunities in the University Ecosystem, Goal Setting and Milestones in Life, Time and Financial Management. These topics were facilitated by experts from the University.
Dr. Keren Naa Abeka Arthur, the Director of D-HUB encouraged students to have an open mind to spot opportunities in the University Ecosystem and also not give up on their dreams. Rather they should make use of the available opportunities. She strongly emphasized on the availability of numerous opportunities and urged the Awardees present to visit the D-HUB in order to help them nurture, plan, innovate, grow and develop those ideas, skills and passion thereby transforming them into reality.
