NYSC SENSITIZES PROSPECTIVE LANDMARK UNIVERSITY PATHFINDERS
On Friday 15th of January 2016, a team of delegate from the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) held a sensitization program for prospective graduates of the 2016 class of the Landmark University. The prospective graduates christened Pathfinders converged at the Multipurpose Hall, as they were addressed by Mrs.Olutayo Samuel, the NYSC Assistant Director, for Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED).
Mrs. Samuel who took the students through the rudiments of registration, importance of early registration, and conduct of Corps Members at the Orientation Camp urged them to take the national assignment seriously, as it is a clarion call to serve the nation. She pointed out some of the avoidable difficulties prospective Corps Members could encounter while on service. This she believed would be preventable as a result of the privileged information which the seminar provides. She appreciated the initiatives of the institution for organizing the sensitization program for prospective graduates, while calling on other higher Institutions of higher learning to imitate such culture from Landmark University platform. She further eulogized the past sets of Pathfinders for being impactful and well organized at the Orientation Camp, while urging the next set of graduands to emulate such virtues from their predecessors.
In his response, the Dean, Student Affairs, Dr. R.A Animashahun appreciated the team of NYSC facilitators for honouring the University’s invitation, as he noted that all information given were very vital. Assuring the team that graduates of Landmark University are adequately groomed in academics and character, he remarked that Orientation Camp would not be stressful for the students because discipline and hard work has been inculcated in them right from school.

NIGERIAN RED CROSS SEEKS COLLABORATION WITH LANDMARK UNIVERSITY
In a bid to expand its humanitarian reach and foster greater community engagement, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Irepodun Local Government Chapter has expressed interest in establishing a collaboration with Landmark University on Wednesday 10th April 2024. The proposed partnership aims to establish a Red Cross detachment on the university campus, offering students, faculty, and staff an avenue to participate actively in humanitarian efforts.
Mr. James Ibiwoye, Chair of the Nigerian Red Cross in Irepodun Local Government, presented the organization's intentions during a meeting with the University management. He highlighted the existing involvement of university faculty and staff as members and officials of the Red Cross, emphasizing the need for a dedicated detachment on campus to further integrate the university community into the society's initiatives. Members of the Landmark University community in the society were Dr Bamidele Fakinle (Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering) the Secretary of the Society, and Dr Marion Adebiyi (Head of the Department of Computer Science) a member.
In response, the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University expressed appreciation for the consideration of the university in the Red Cross's expansion plans. Drawing parallels between the vision and values of both organizations, particularly in the areas of volunteering and leadership, he underscored the significance of sacrifice as a core value shared by the university and the Red Cross.
Corroborating the Vice-Chancellor were the positive remarks by other members of the university's management present at the meeting, who voiced their support for the acceptance and operation of the Red Cross on the Landmark University campus. The proposed collaboration holds the promise of enhancing the university's commitment to community service and humanitarianism, providing valuable opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to contribute meaningfully to societal welfare.
As discussions progress between Landmark University and the Nigerian Red Cross Society, both parties are poised to embark on a partnership that exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and shared values. Together, they aim to create a platform for fostering a culture of service and selflessness within the university community, ultimately making a positive impact on the broader society.
