The Journalism Student Society at the
University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) recently held a Motivational Night,
bringing together students from various schools to be inspired by distinguished
academic leaders. The event featured three prominent school deans: Professor
Leo Marai from the School of Humanities, Professor Kaipu from the School of
Law, and Professor Saulei from the School of Natural and Physical Sciences
(SNPS), who shared their insights on excelling in education and career
development.
The night aimed to empower students to
stay committed to their academic goals and prepare for future challenges.
Professor Saulei emphasized the importance of competition and perseverance in
personal and professional growth. "You have to be competitive and not let
yourself down. Take on competition in every department or task assigned to you
because that will determine your capacity and ability to achieve more in
life," he advised.
The event also resonated with attendees
from other schools, including Ms. Sylvia Kilali, a foundation-year student from
the School of Business and Public Policy (SBPP). Reflecting on the experience,
she said, "I was thrilled to be part of the event. Listening to the
speakers reminded me to be competitive and to never give up, even when things
get harder or when family support isn’t there. It opened my mind to be
innovative, adventurous, and to push beyond my limits in my academic
journey."
The Motivational Night served as an
invaluable opportunity for students to connect with high-profile professionals
and be inspired to pursue excellence in their studies. The speakers’ words of
encouragement struck a chord with many, particularly younger students, who left
the event feeling empowered and ready to face academic challenges head-on.
As the evening concluded, the Journalism
Student Society's initiative was hailed as a success, fostering a sense of
ambition and drive within the university community.
