Finals are over, and students take a breather
Fall semester spanning over three months is finally over for the students and spring semester beckons for them in a month’s time. I am so proud of all the hard work the students put in their classes, and for the challenges they overcome. They fought through sickness, personal tragedies, frustrations and many more, while keeping their faith in the Lord and running their race with the finish line in mind. We had a grand semester – from pizza parties to thanksgiving potluck by the faculty, and we all enjoyed a lot. Engineering course projects enhanced the learning and senior design presentation was a huge success. There are so many highlights to boast about, but one thing is certain – we could not have ended this semester on high without the grace of the Almighty God.
Now that everybody is on their winter break, and the engineering building is pretty much empty except for a couple of faculty sitting in their offices perusing over the final answer sheets with a highly focused microscope, and a bright red pen, the absence of the students makes for an eerie feeling. The relationship with students is strong here at MVNU engineering, and we wish they can be back soon. Can’t wait to see them, but at the same time, wish them to spend some quality time with their friends and family. At the same time, I get reminded of all the graduates that passed through these doors, and hope that they are happy and safe wherever they are.
We wish you in advance a Merry Christmas and a delightful year 2023.
