The Vice-Chancellor of the Osun State  University, Professor Odunayo Clement Adeboye,  has challenged  to  the new students of  the Institution to dream big, work hard, and aim for the stars.  The University Matriculated 8,000 students  during this year exercise ceremony.

Speaking at the 17th matriculation ceremony of  the institution, Professor Adeboye,  enjoined them to seize every opportunity and make the most of their time in the Institution, and let the spirit of excellence guide the entire journey.

The VC emphasized: “Osun State University stands as a symbol of academic excellence. Our commitment to providing quality education has earned us a distinguished reputation, not only within our Nation but globally. We continuously strive for excellence in teaching, research, and community service.”

“In this esteemed institution, we uphold the values of integrity, discipline, and moral uprightness. Social vices such as examination malpractice, cultism, indecent dressing, drug abuse, sexual harassment, and truancy are vehemently condemned.”

“ The University is resolute in its stance on these, and culprits are subject to summary dismissal. I trust that the orientation exercise organised by the Student Affairs Unit has adequately familiarised you with the university’s expectations, leaving no room for excuses. Before the first semester examinations, a colloquium will hold across Colleges and Campuses, where you will be exposed to rules and regulations guiding teaching, learning, and examinations. The penalties for breaching our rules are imposed without any mitigation.”

“As you embark on this academic adventure, remember that you are not alone. Osun State University is not just an educational institution; it is a community that supports and empowers. Our dedicated academic and non-academic staff members are committed to guiding and inspiring you. We are devoted to fostering an environment where every student can flourish and achieve their academic goals.”

“The University offers a range of scholarships for both excellent and indigent students. Recognising diverse backgrounds, we operate a student work-study scheme, employing indigent students in specific University areas, providing stipends for their upkeep. Please feel free to visit the Student Affairs for more details. Submit your applications for scholarships and we wish you success.”
