Nothing more powerful than student voices! And how wonderful to hear students reiterate the power of small moments. As educators, the smallest moves we make can have the biggest impact on our students and their futures. #HumanizingSTEM #HumanizeOL Michelle Pacansky-Brock https://lnkd.in/gC6hFsxz

Rethinking Education: Embracing Individuality and Essential Life Skills As we navigate an ever-changing world, it's crucial to reassess our approach to education. Traditional systems often prioritize academic subjects, leaving essential life skills overlooked. It's time to challenge the status quo and embrace a new educational paradigm—one that recognizes the importance of beauty, fashion, dance, meme-making, trending songs, and individual expression. In this era of rapid technological advancement and cultural evolution, the ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments is paramount. By incorporating these elements into our educational syllabus, we empower students to cultivate creativity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Let's foster an educational environment that celebrates diversity, innovation, and the pursuit of passions. Together, we can shape a future where individuals are equipped with the skills and mindset necessary to succeed in all aspects of life. Join the conversation and be part of the movement to redefine education for the betterment of society. #RethinkingEducation #EmbracingIndividuality #FutureOfLearning

Six things an institution of higher learning can focus on to improve first generation student success rates: 1. Make the students feel valued (validation). 2. Amplify positive role models. 3. Help them create an internal belief they can succeed. 4. Develop cultural competencies among the faculty and staff through professional development. 5. Build community. 6. Mitigate the impact of stereotypes and solo status. #highereducation #highered #studentsuccess #firstgenerationcollegestudent

"A BETTER SCALE IN ACADEMIC SUCCESS"  Refers to a more comprehensive or effective way of measuring and evaluating a student's academic achievements. Traditional metrics like grades, test scores, and GPA have long been the standard for assessing academic success, but they may not fully capture a student's capabilities, learning process, or overall development. A better scale would consider a broader range of factors that contribute to true academic success. #NEXFORD UNIVERSITY, a better scale in academic success acknowledges that education is more than just achieving high marks—it’s about fostering a well-rounded, capable individual who can thrive in various aspects of life. By incorporating holistic, growth-oriented, and real-world measures, this approach provides a fuller picture of what it means to succeed academically and prepares students for future challenges. #What are you waiting for??????

Over the weekend, my departmental association at ACES FUNAAB had a webinar which centered on leveraging opportunities. Philip Ogunleke , who was one of the speakers, shared his views on leveraging opportunity as a student: 🏆 Skills Owning a couple of skills ranging from hard to soft skills in solving problems when needed may arise. 🏆 Network Leveraging your network such as people/linkedin when seeking opportunities irrespective of their gender, age, background, and other factors. 🏆 Academics Yes, academics cannot be overemphasized. School is not a SCAM! 🏆 Departmental/College Your departmental, college, faculty students association can be of great help when you utilize series of activities organized for student development rather than caring so much for the general item 7 😂 🏆 Organization and Association communities Attending conferences, seminars, symposiums while maximizing and creating opportunities over time. I decided to share here while I as well ponder on them. What other ways do you think students can leverage opportunities on during their undergraduate/graduate journey? Feel free to share in the comments section. On a side note: Moving forward on Mondays, I will be sharing great men I have noticed over time doing great things on this space while we learn from them. Men deserve to be celebrated as well 😁. This is inspired by Peace Adetutu Ezeafulukwe who celebrates women on Wednesdays 😂 (This is just to have fun while we learn and celebrate as well) Cheers 🍻 to a great week ahead 🙏 I remain my humble self, Asu Sejoro Stephen I strongly believe that things can only get better. Below 👇 are my class colleagues. #students #undergraduates #development #civilengineering #civilengineeringstudent
