I'm excited to share my latest YouTube video on #exploration! I am officially a senior in my #journalism and #media #communication degree through Colorado State University this year. It took me a few years to determine what I was truly interested in and passionate about, but I ultimately realized that I would love to focus my work on exploration, so whenever the opportunity arises in academic projects, I research different sides of exploration for assignments. I love everything that involves creativity, especially #film and video creation so this project was a lot of fun. For this particular class, Strategic Writing and Communication (JTC-300), we were asked to tie an oral presentation into a technical report that we were writing throughout the semester. Any student can take this course from those focusing on #business, and #engineering to #communications and #environmental_science majors because strategic writing and strategic communication are skills that can make someone an asset in any field. However, after completing two NASA L'SPACE Program academies this year, I really wanted to make my technical report as professional as possible as if I were working for my dream organization, so I put in a lot of work into research for the written portion as it will be in my portfolio later on. My written report focuses largely on #outerspace exploration, #investments, #risks, and #rewards, but this video presentation is meant to serve as a short synopsis of the overall project. For this slideshow, we did not have to add music or moving visuals, but if you ask a journalism and media communication major to make a presentation, we are definitely going to put a #creative spin on it! I added it to my personal #YouTube channel so I can continue showcasing different projects that I am working on. Building a following is my personal strategy to show that I have an understanding of media communications going into professional communications roles, so so if you enjoyed this short 3-minute video, I would really appreciate any and all likes and subscribes to my YouTube channel as it is still getting started. I also plan to tie my YouTube channel into my portfolio when applying to #internships, #gradschool, and #jobs later on. I hope you enjoy this video; it was a lot of fun to make! Work doesn't always feel like work when you're passionate about what you're doing.💫 #creativity #socialmedia #contentcreationstrategy #presentation #narration #research #student #vetran NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration BLUE ORIGIN SpaceX National Geographic Discovery Channel Warner Bros.

US shale magnate Harold Hamm is leading attempts to lure an increasingly skeptical younger generation to the oil and gas industry as climate concerns and job insecurity dent the attractiveness of the industry for graduates and skilled tradespeople. “We are going to be using oil for the next 50 years and ‘clean burning’ natural gas probably for the next 100 or 150 years . . . we want to get the next generation of game-changers involved,” said the businessman, who recently donated $50mn to establish the Hamm Institute for American Energy at Oklahoma State University. The 78-year-old pioneered a two-decades-long shale revolution that has transformed the US into the world’s biggest oil and gas producer. But, as the world reached an agreement to “transition away from fossil fuels” at the UN COP28 climate conference in December, he and other industry leaders have turned their attention to addressing a fall in applicants for petroleum engineering and related courses in the US and Europe. The Hamm Institute is one of a growing number of initiatives aiming to dispel negative perceptions of the industry. In 2022, ExxonMobil donated $16.4mn to universities and colleges worldwide and Chevron has helped establish a jobs readiness program in the US called SkillsReady to prepare and attract workers to the oil and gas sectors. Oil majors Shell and BP offer scholarships and apprenticeship programs to lure more young people to the sector. Shell has also led efforts on platforms popular among young people such as TikTok and Twitch to promote their traditional products. But they face a formidable challenge. Undergraduate enrolment in a survey of mainly US petroleum engineering courses has fallen from 7,046 in 2019 to 3,911 last year, according to a study by Lloyd Heinze, emeritus professor at Texas Tech University. Some colleges in the US and Europe have dropped oil-and-gas-focused courses from their curriculums while others are restructuring courses to include green energy. Heightened public concerns about climate change are causing a backlash against the oil and gas industries on some campuses, particularly in Europe. In November, Swansea became the seventh UK university to ban fossil fuel companies from advertising to students at career fairs. Worldwide membership of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, an industry group, fell from 168,125 in 2015 to 119,120 in 2022, while the average age of professional members has increased to 48 years, up from 45 years over the same period. “[Students have] been told for a very long time that oil and gas is going away and they’re concerned about having long-term careers,” said Jennifer Miskimins, head of petroleum engineering at the CO School of Mines. She said the skills shortage was already having an impact and some companies have told the school that they were not hitting “hiring targets”.

At the Diamondback Energy-sponsored "Launch with Confidence" Career Seminar at Prairie View A&M University, JP Warren discussed how to make the most of networking events. You’ve got three options: 1) Don’t engage   2) Stick with your friends   3) Meet new people  Lean into being uncomfortable and choose the third option—connect with people. That’s where growth happens, and where real opportunities are found. Thank you, Diamondback Energy, for supporting these students and helping them build the skills to launch their careers.

I've recently been added to a group of esteemed #PUT alumni to commemorate the 85th anniversary of Petroleum University of Technology. It's heartwarming to witness the reunion of alumni who have dispersed across the globe, many of whom now hold pivotal roles in prominent oil companies around the globe. Yet, amidst the nostalgia and pride, I hold an unpopular perspective. The lack of clarity regarding the motives behind this group and their gathering of information has left me feeling skeptical from the outset. Are they truly aiming to celebrate us as alumni, or could there be ulterior motives at play, such as leveraging our influence to negotiate for additional funding and resources, effectively exploiting the university once again? Without a clear understanding of the group's intentions and the purpose behind their actions, it's difficult to fully trust their motives. The skepticism I feel stems from past experiences where we, as alumni, were seemingly betrayed or let down. It's challenging to place trust in this group again, especially considering the history of being let down or taken advantage of in the past. The wounds of past betrayals make it difficult to extend trust without concrete evidence of good intentions and genuine commitment to the alumni community and the university as a whole. It pains me to acknowledge the University's failure in safeguarding its graduates and providing them with faculty equipped with the latest knowledge. On top of that, when the Ministry of Petroleum bailed on our bursary and refused to hire us, our teachers abandoned us, refusing to stand alongside their students. It's no wonder that they too became targets later on, losing their positions and the benefits of being hires of the petroleum ministry. However, for some of them, even this served as an opportunity to prolong their stay at the university and milk the system for another couple of years. This abandonment by both the ministry and the professors further exacerbated the challenges faced by graduates of the university, leaving them adrift without the support and guidance they desperately needed. While I cherish the friendships and knowledge cultivated during my time there, I'm disheartened to admit that there's little left to celebrate at the institution. #PUTalumni #PetroleumUniversityofTechnology

As the year comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey that 2023 has been, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to each one of you who has played a part in making it special. This year presented its fair share of challenges, but I am proud to say that I emerged stronger and more resilient. The hurdles I faced served as opportunities for growth, and the lessons learned have become invaluable building blocks for my personal development. Celebrating victories, both big and small, would not have been as meaningful without the shared joy and enthusiasm from my amazing circle. Achieving some of my goals was a collective effort, and I'm grateful for the collaborative spirit that fueled those successes. • Got enrolled in the SEG-NAU Geoscientific Field Campaign II (A research project on Aguleri Environs on Groundwater Contamination). • Attended the NAPE International Conference and made Quality Connections. • Attended the 1st Hybrid Conference of Faculty of Physical science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Served as a Volunteer in the Exhibition booth and Did Poster Presentation. • Presented a Research Paper at a Conference. • Won the first runner-up in the NDLEA Undergraduate Quiz Competition in Nnamdi Azikiwe University which saw about 2500+ Students. • Got the L Austin Weeks Undergraduate grant from the American Association of Petroleum Geologist (AAPG) Foundation. • Got the position as the Vice President of Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists - NAU chapter. • Got admitted into the Geoscientific Field Campaign organized by SEG Nnamdi Azikiwe University (Nigeria), Kansas State University (USA), and Uppsala University (Sweden) and completed it. • Got Recognized in the UNIZIK Bulletin. • Published a Research Paper on “Application of Geomechanics in Petroleum Reservoirs”. • Got an Internship at ExxonMobil Geoscience Workstation where I was trained on the intensive use of Petrel Software • Got honoured for Volunteering by Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) international. Yes, they are minor, but they mean a lot to me. Looking ahead to the coming year, I am filled with hope and determination. I aspire to build on the progress made, continuously learn, and embrace new opportunities for growth. May the coming year bring us more reasons to celebrate, grow, and cherish the bonds that make life truly meaningful. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a promising New Year! #professionaldevelopment
