PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT📌📌

Hello Friends,

It’s a good day, and a good Saturday. Although this is summer break and we get to relax as school is not in session, I’ve been busy all summer crunching data, and doing lots of writing. I am excited about this particular research project and will share the details with you later. How about you? What have you been up to this summer? Please share with me in the comments and let’s catch up.

Let me go straight to what brought me here today. I have two main things to say.

✅It’s almost the end of the Summer break and I am excited about holding a last Admission and Scholarship training session before the Fall quarter begins. When school resumes in late September for us, I will be more focused on me. Thus, please reach out and let’s get you started.

✅To those who passed their certification exams culminating their high school studies, please reach out if you are confused about making a decision or choice of institution. Counseling is FREE of charge and u am always happy to talk to you. Parents and guardians of these precious young minds can also reach out if they need clarification on the aforementioned topic. Please note that there a hundreds or thousands of Higher Education Institutions but not all are globally recognized. As such, I encourage you to do your due diligence before enrolling in any university or program. It is better to be safe now than worry after 4 years. I can not count the number of times I have talked about this topic. If in doubt, again, please reach out.

Feel free to send me a direct message here on my social media page or personal account or email. Please note that All my Facebook accounts are Meta verified (with a blue tick). So please ensure you are sending a message to me.

Disclaimer: I don’t provide any academic related information or support on WhatsApp. I don’t spam people either. My WhatsApp is for my personal and private use. Beware of sc@m.

Happy to chat


Have a great weekend.

Dear Trader Joe's List, today I am very unhappy with Trader Joe's-Davis,CA. Not when we’ve added this sweet plantains chips to our list of lifesaver foods for PhD students then you suddenly decide to discontinue the product? For the past 3 years, this has been my favorite snack from your store.

I walked in to your Davis,CA store to grab these snacks and one of your crew members told me that from next week you’re not gonna have these chips on your shelves anymore. This PhD life and research is so stressful that sometimes many of us don’t even have time to cook nor eat food. We focus more on research and tend to eat more of snacks. You see these sweet plantain chips right here, they’ve been a lifesaver to many of us.

Davis is a college town and discontinuing this chips is very unfair to us students. When your crew member told me, I could have grabbed more to save them. However, I only grabbed 2 packets because I thought of my fellow colleagues who would be rushing to your store for the snacks as well. I

I am really sad about this. I just wanted to vent.

Hi Good People, I believe y’all are doing well. A lot of people complaining they aren’t seeing my posts. If you can read this please leave a comment or like.Thank you and have a beautiful day.

A KIND MESSAGE TO NEW INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS : REVISITED BUT STILL VALID📌📌📌

Dear Friends,

We are in August, the time of the year you will find busy airports and campuses gearing up to receive freshmen. If you’re an incoming international student preparing to embark on your graduate school journey in a new country, or you have arrived your host country, you’re in for an exciting adventure filled with opportunities for growth and discovery. It’s completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness as you step into this new chapter of your life. Remember you are not alone.

Let’s explore some essential tips I’ve got to help you navigate this transition smoothly.

📌First and foremost, remember you have a student visa/permit which was issued to you for the purpose of studies. The document has rules that you must follow. The rules vary from one country to the next. Please follow the rules. If you aren’t authorized to work whether off or on campus, please do not work. However, if you are authorized to work please respect the limit. If it is 20 hours max on campus during school time, please respect it.

🛑🛑❌There are resources tagged FREE that you CAN NOT access them as an international student (e.g. food stamps). No one will tell you about these, no one will refuse to give them to you if you show up to collect. You will be excited, very happy about it not knowing you are getting into tr0uble already. Please know that not every FREE resource is FREE for you as an international student. If you must collect any FREE resources, I recommend you contact your office of International Students or your DSO. If in doubt at any given time, please contact your DSO. Take this advise seriously.

📌 When you get settled and have your home address, search for where to obtain an ID Card from your host country so that you will not be carrying your passport with you everywhere you go to. Also, do well to keep any administrative documentation safe. All of them
. keep them safe.

📌Embrace the cultural differences you’ll encounter. Every country has its unique customs and traditions, and being open to these experiences will enrich your time abroad. Take the time to learn about the local culture, language, and social norms. This not only helps you adapt but also shows respect for your new home.

📌Building a support network is crucial. Connect with fellow international students, join student organizations, or participate in campus events. These connections can provide a sense of belonging and help you feel more at home. Don’t hesitate to reach out to faculty and staff as well; they are there to support you and can offer valuable guidance throughout your academic journey.

📌Academically, be proactive in seeking help when needed. Graduate school can be challenging, and it’s important to remember that asking questions is a sign of strength, not weakness. Utilize resources like tutoring centers, study groups, and office hours to enhance your understanding of the material. Your professors and peers are valuable allies in your academic success.

📌Time management is another key aspect to master. Balancing coursework, research, and personal life can be overwhelming, especially in a new environment. Create a schedule that allows you to allocate time for studying, socializing, talking to family, and self-care. Prioritizing your well-being is essential for maintaining a healthy mindset. Eat well oh and stay hydrated always because you need the energy.

📌Do not procrastinate for no reason. Many international students get overwhelmed due to procrastination and tend to get into depress!ve state. You don’t want to walk the depress!on route. It is r0ugh! Please do everything you can to stay focused and pass your classes. If you feel you need to talk to a counselor at any time please do it ASAP. Do not try to f!ght it. Talk to a professional soonest.

📌Setup all your bills on autopay so you don’t forget to pay them. You can get carried away and forget to manually pay and then you hear matters that touch. Additionally, if you have to get any credit card, please ensure you spend wisely. Don’t use your credit card to buy stuff to impress people online because no one really cares. Every knows you are a bush faller so no need trying to prove a point. We don’t really care. When you use your credit card please pay the money you spend because it is not your money. Pay your credit card bills.

🛑❌❌ This point goes specifically to ladies especially single ladies. Head-sup that I will have to say it as it is😂😂. From sis-to-sis! No sleep overs! There are cute “uncus” waiting for newbies like you. Very naive newbies at that😂. Don’t cook for any uncu. Don’t allow any sleep over either. You too stay in one place! One sleep over and it is game over sis😂😂. If “konji” catch you, just call your favorite family or friend and chat with them, or you take a cool shower and you will forget sis.This is not me talking ooh đŸ˜‚đŸ«Ł it’s my keyboard’s writing but the message has been delivered. I hope the volume is okay.

📌Lastly, take the time to explore your new surroundings. Whether it’s visiting local landmarks, trying new foods, or participating in community events, immersing yourself in the local culture will create lasting memories and broaden your perspective.

đŸ„°As you embark on this incredible journey, remember that it’s okay to feel a little out of your comfort zone. Each challenge you face is an opportunity for growth. I am excited for you and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish.

Please note: If you copy parts or all of the post, please do well to give me credit. It is okay to copy
just give credit to show respect for the writers intellect.

Thank you đŸ„°

FINAL REMINDER 📌📌

Dear friends,

As international students are arriving their hosts countries to begin their studies starting this month for 2026/2027, universities are also already preparing to open admission portals for the largest intake of the year (Fall 2027). Please note that there are other intakes before Fall 2027. However, I am emphasizing on Fall intake because this is the session with most funding availability for international students. Thus, if you are targeting funding, this is the recommended session for you to apply for.

While the fall intake comes with funding packages, you need to be strategic about how to secure the funding. The first thing is to aim for priority deadlines. Missing a priority deadline reduces your chances of being considered in the application pool for funding (if any, and provided you qualify).

📌I am sending one of my usual reminders. If you anticipate submitting graduate school applications, and looking for funding, this is the right time to send your final reminders to your referees about your letters of recommendation. Ensure they are on standby to submit your recommendations for you as soon as application portals open. Some schools allow your referees to submit their recommendations even before you complete your application. You don’t need to complete your application before submitting references.

📌If you haven’t received your academic transcripts yet, this is the last call for you to do so. Your UNOFFICIAL transcripts are critical at this point. You can submit OFFICIAL transcripts later (when you have received an admission offer).

📌 Ensure that you have your academic CVs ready, and if possible your writing sample and research proposals (for thesis based master and PhD applicants).

📌Finally, please ensure that you are submitting academic credentials from a globally recognized institution.

The last point is critical and could be the reason many people end up loosing opportunities.

Have any questions? I am always happy to answer them for you.

Good luck to you all and we hope to celebrate you sooner.

PHASE ONE COMPLETED ✅✅

It’s been weeks of hard work for me and I am super proud that I finished successfully. I spent the past few weeks working on data analysis, visualization, modeling, and interpretation in preparation for abstract submissions for the upcoming scientific conferences.

✅The most exciting part is that I was mentoring Azalia, a young and enthusiastic undergraduate student researcher in our lab at UC Davis (my undergraduate mentee). Mentoring undergrads in research usually takes a lot of patience. Given that she just completed her first year at the university (Year 1), I am so proud of her progress. She dedicated time working with me in the lab to analyze the samples, performed data analysis, visualization and interpretation under my guidance and supervision. I was intrigued by her ability to grasp concepts, her thought process and understanding of the science during interpretation. With all that she has accomplished so far working as an undergraduate student researcher in our lab, and also that she is just in her first year, I can say for a fact that her future is bright. She’s one of the next generation of scientists that the world will appreciate.

✅We successfully submitted 3 abstracts to two global scientific organizations: The Geological Society of America (GSA) and The American Geophysical Union (AGU). I am the first author of 2 of the abstracts and co-authored one. Our research team for the studies are US-Cameroon collaborations with Cameroonian scientists from the University of YaoundĂ© 1 and the University of Bamenda.

✅The abstract I co-authored is lead by my undergraduate mentee, AzaliađŸ€— and I am so proud of her. You needed to see her joy when she hit the submit button and received a confirmation email. Imagine already building a strong and competitive research portfolio in her first year of college. She’s already distinguishing herself from her peers. I guarantee the quality of the abstract and I know it will be accepted for presentation.

✅I will cheer her through her presentation at the GSA Annual meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA come October 2026, and AGU Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California, USA in December 2026. I will clap her give her first ever research presentation, not in just any kind of event but in a Global Scientific Conference like GSA. I am that ever present mentor. Very reliable 😄.

To those who’ve been searching for me, I am back. What’s the news? Bring the gist. 😂

MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE 🙏🙏🙏📌

Yesterday was my birthday. I spent my day working in the lab as usual (see slide 1) and didn’t have anything in mind about my birthday. Honestly, it was one of my birthdays I wasn’t expecting anything memorable about it because I didn’t plan anything.

Surprisingly, the outpouring of love was overwhelming. What I couldn’t believe was a planned birthday dinner for me, with so much surprises. I am still amazed at how they all wrote personalized heartwarming messages for me in a single card, and I was there but didn’t even notice it. How did that happen? Everything was just overwhelming. The emotions were so intense, and I am so grateful. The lovely video messages from my two little kids, husband, messages from family, friends, and social media community.

I am still in shock. My inboxes are full of lovely and heartfelt messages. Numerous tags on social media. I promise I will reply to each and every one of you. I’ve been replying and will continue to do so until the last message.

Yesterday was my best birthday ever, and I thank you all for making my day this special and memorable. Thank you for celebrating me while I am still alive. May the good Lord Bless you all. I love you all right back. Thank you, Merci, Beriven, Kezong. 🙏🙏🙏

Sincerely,
Claris

It’s my birthday today and I am so grateful for another year to bask in God’s grace and mercy.

This is a very kind reminder that you should start putting all of your application materials together if you anticipate submitting graduate school applications for the Fall 2027 intake, and your goal is to secure funding. Your target should be the priority deadline not the general deadline.

If you don’t need funding then this post isn’t for you. You can always target the general application deadline.

Happy Thursday Good People.
