AUN President’s Medical Outreach Impacts Wuro Hausa Community

2025-05-06T15:12:44+00:00

In a continued display of commitment to community development, the President of the �� (AUN), Professor DeWayne P. Frazier, organized a free medical outreach for residents of the Wuro Hausa community in Yola South on February 8, 2025.

The initiative took place at the Wuro Hausa Primary Health Care center and focused primarily on children under five, as well as elderly residents with chronic conditions. The event, which began at 9:00 AM, drew a large turnout of residents, including children, women, and the elderly, who eagerly awaited assistance.

Professor Frazier, accompanied by Dr. Paul Dogara, Director of Health Services, led a team of nursing students and volunteers from the AUN community, emphasizing both service delivery and student exposure to real-world healthcare challenges. Speaking through interpreters in Hausa and Fulfude, Professor Frazier expressed his commitment to supporting underserved communities, citing similar projects in Boronji Jimeta. He underscored the outreach’s goal: to bridge gaps in community healthcare while offering students experiential learning.

Children received medical attention, candies, and toys, while elderly patients were treated for ailments like hypertension and diabetes. The program, coordinated through the President’s Office, AUN Schools, Academic Programs, and the AUN Medical Clinic, touched over 100 lives. “I want them to know AUN is a private university built not for profit, but to serve. Our founder believes that future leaders must have compassion,” Professor Frazier remarked.

Beneficiaries, including 67-year-old Musa Garba and 54-year-old Salamatu Ibrahim, expressed deep gratitude for the free medical services. The outreach, they said, brought relief and renewed hope to many who cannot afford basic healthcare.

AUN President Visits ADSU to Launch TETFUND-Funded Postgraduate Partnership

2025-05-06T15:01:17+00:00

The �� (AUN) has been officially recognized as a partner institution by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), paving the way for fully funded master’s and PhD programs. To kick off the collaborations with tertiary institutions, AUN President Dr. DeWayne Frazier, accompanied by senior university officials, visited ADSU in Mubi to discuss implementation and strengthen ties.

The AUN delegation included Provost Prof. Paul Vita and Registrar and Secretary to the AUN Governing Council, Mr. Daniel Okereke. They were received by ADSU Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Augustine Clement, along with other members of the university leadership.

The visit focused on building institutional collaboration in areas such as staff development, research, and postgraduate training. AUN’s new status as a TETFUND partner allows academic staff from public institutions like ADSU to access scholarships for postgraduate study at AUN

In his opening remarks, Dr. Frazier described the partnership as a major milestone for private universities in Nigeria. “About a month ago, we received a letter that was very exciting to us, AUN accepted to be TETFUND partner school,” he said.

He emphasized the convenience of the partnership, especially to ADSU given the close proximity of the two universities. “They can come, stay in Yola, and then back to Mubi on weekends if they have family. It's not a bad drive,” he remarked.

Prof. Clement welcomed the initiative, calling it timely and in line with his administration’s goals. “Your proposal to collaborate with us is timely. This is a very good alternative for our staff to get quality training,” he stated.

He also announced plans to establish a College of Medical Sciences and an Engineering Faculty at ADSU, and requested AUN’s support in curriculum development and faculty training.
“No institution can survive without collaboration. Even in the US and UK, universities collaborate to strengthen academic programs.”

AUN Registrar, Mr. Okereke reflected on the longstanding relationship between the two universities, recalling how AUN supported ADSU students during the peak of insurgency in the Northeast. “We didn’t do it for showmanship; we did it because education is our mission. One more educational institution standing also helps us stand tall.”

Both institutions agreed to fast-track a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize the partnership. Prof. Clement proposed a reciprocal visit to AUN for further discussions.“We will schedule a visit to AUN and draft an MoU. Once signed, we will swing into action to actualize the terms,” he affirmed.

The visit concluded with a tour of ADSU’s Boni Haruna and Abubakar Barde campuses, where the AUN delegation viewed ongoing infrastructure projects and learned about the university’s plans for academic expansion, especially in the fields of medicine and engineering.

AUN President Leads Strategic Visits to Strengthen Institutional Partnerships in Adamawa State

2025-05-06T15:00:20+00:00

The �� (AUN), widely recognized for its dedication to academic excellence and community development, has taken significant steps to strengthen partnerships with key institutions across Adamawa State. In a series of high-level courtesy visits, AUN President Dr. DeWayne Frazier led a delegation to Modibbo Adama University (MAU) and Adamawa State Polytechnic on April 30, 2025, to explore collaborative opportunities.

The visits focused on fostering joint staff development programs, research initiatives, and the mutual sharing of academic resources. Discussions also touched on the newly restructured TETFund Scholarship for Academic Staff (TSAS), which now emphasizes in-country academic advancement. This initiative is designed to reduce brain drain by encouraging Nigerian scholars to pursue advanced degrees locally within selected universities, including AUN.

At MAU Yola, the AUN team was received by Vice Chancellor Professor Ibrahim Umar and other senior staff. Talks centered on developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate collaborative training programs, research projects, and shared access to library resources.

Speaking at MAU, Dr. Frazier emphasized the importance of such partnerships in driving long-term academic and developmental impact. “We believe in partnerships that create real impact,” he said. “This is about more than just exchanging ideas—it’s about building something lasting that supports education, innovation, and community development. We’re truly excited about the future and the great things we’ll achieve together.”

In response, Professor Umar expressed his admiration for AUN’s academic philosophy and shared his personal connection to the university. “The university’s focus on quality and hands-on learning is something I truly admire. This partnership is not just timely; it’s essential.”

The AUN delegation toured some of MAU’s key facilities, including the university’s Solar Farm and Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre.

At Adamawa State Polytechnic, the delegation was warmly received by the Rector, Professor Mohamed Dahiru Toungos, who expressed optimism about future collaboration. “I’m excited about what this collaboration can achieve, and I know our lecturers will be thrilled at the opportunity to study at AUN right here at home, instead of having to go to another state or country.”

These engagements lay a promising foundation for sustained institutional cooperation. AUN and its partner institutions aim to expand academic opportunities for students and staff, strengthen regional research capacity, and contribute meaningfully to the sustainable development of Adamawa State and Nigeria at large.

The �� Window: A Beacon of Growth and Transformation at AUN

2025-05-06T12:36:55+00:00

Nestled in the tranquil heart of the �� (AUN), the �� Window stands as a vibrant hub for knowledge, dialogue, innovation, and civic engagement. More than just a physical space, it embodies a movement that amplifies the ideals of education, leadership, and global citizenship across the AUN community and beyond.

Over time, the �� Window has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic and consistent platforms on campus. It bridges local aspirations with global narratives, grounding international values in local contexts. From commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day with impactful discussions to celebrating International Women’s Day through inclusive forums, the window brings global themes to life in ways that inspire meaningful, local action.

The hub organizes significant programs such as World Cancer Day, HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and Armed Forces Remembrance Day. These events go far beyond symbolic observance, they spark critical conversations, foster empathy, and encourage proactive community engagement well beyond the classroom.

What truly distinguishes the �� Window is its culture of consistency and excellence. It has evolved into a lifestyle hub, committed to adding value, nurturing talent, and raising the bar for community participation on campus. Through its transformative programs, it positions itself as a catalyst for the progress Nigeria, and Africa urgently needs.

One of its most celebrated initiatives is the Leading Wings Talk on Leadership, a thought-provoking series that brings together professionals, influencers, and aspiring changemakers to explore themes of governance and nation-building. These discussions encourage visionary thinking and equip students with practical tools for real-world leadership.

The �� Window is also an invaluable resource for students pursuing opportunities to study abroad. Through personalized scholarship guidance sessions, it simplifies the often complex process of identifying and applying for international academic programs, empowering students to broaden their horizons.

A commitment to digital inclusion is another cornerstone of the initiative. The �� Window’s E-Library offers open access to academic journals, professional development materials, and other digital tools, ensuring that even individuals outside AUN benefit. In a region where information access can be limited, this service plays a critical role in democratizing knowledge.

Beyond student development, the �� Window contributes to institutional growth. It has facilitated professional development seminars for AUN staff below the rank of Deputy Director, focusing on work ethics and communication skills to enhance both productivity and workplace harmony.

The hub also supports National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members posted to AUN by providing a platform for community development projects. A recent art exhibition organized by a corps member reflects the space’s embrace of creativity and innovation. Whether through health campaigns, educational workshops, or outreach efforts, NYSC members utilize the Window’s resources to drive meaningful social change.

Ultimately, the �� Window at AUN is more than a facility, it is a movement for enlightenment, empowerment, and engagement. Though it does not follow the format of Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights campaign, it embodies his spirit of courage, purpose, and transformation through actionable community impact. It is a place where ideas are nurtured, leaders are developed, and communities are inspired to dream and act.

As it continues to evolve, one truth remains certain, the �� Window is a shining force in Yola, advancing AUN’s mission and extending its influence far beyond the campus.

AUN Hosts Kwibuka31 Observance in Collaboration with the Rwandan High Commission to Honor Victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi

2025-05-05T09:55:35+00:00

The �� (AUN) hosted Kwibuka 31, the annual commemoration of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi, on April 23, 2025. Rwandan Ambassador to Nigeria H.E. Christophe Bazivamo joined AUN President Dr. DeWayne Frazier, faculty, staff, and students to honor over one million victims and reflect on the theme ‘Remember, Unite, Renew.’

Held at the university’s e-Library Auditorium, the solemn ceremony reflected the 2025 Kwibuka theme, emphasizing the importance of historical truth, collective healing, and the shared responsibility of preventing future atrocities.

Dr. DeWayne Frazier, President of AUN, addressed the audience by underlining the global consequences of division and inaction. “The genocide was a preventable tragedy,” he said. “They were people living in peace and harmony before colonial powers arrived and imposed classifications that bred division and animosity."

Ambassador Bazivamo in his remark called on the international community, especially young people and media professionals, to uphold historical truth and actively combat genocide denial and hate speech. “This is not just a commemoration, but it's a time for reflection, a call for the truth, meditation and responsibility,” the ambassador stated. “The genocide was a systematic, ethnically motivated discrimination, orchestrated over time by the colonial system and sustained by post-colonial administration. It was largely overlooked by the international community.”

He emphasized the importance of accurate representation in journalism and academic work and urged students and young writers to preserve the integrity of Rwanda’s history.

The ceremony included a moment of silence, the lighting of remembrance candles, and the screening of documentary films detailing the events of the genocide and Rwanda’s journey toward reconciliation and national unity. The event served as a powerful reminder of the university’s role in fostering global citizenship and historical awareness among its students.

Through Nbide Ofun, Alum Haye Okoh's Art Exhibition Echoes AUN's Journey of Resilience, Tenacity

2025-04-24T12:14:28+00:00

Ms. Haye Okoh is a vivacious and intensely curious change-maker who, out of self-effacing politeness, simply describes herself as a storyteller. But we all know what to expect when a storyteller is well-educated from a good university, and deeply reflective.

Last week, Ms. Haye Okoh held an art exhibition at the emporium of the library of the ��, drawing a reasonable audience of curious art lovers including students, faculty and staff. The art exhibition which began on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025, continued through Thursday and Friday. The exhibition featured a collection of selected photographic frames and artworks projecting the theme: a new beginning (Nbide Ofun) in Ms. Hayes native Ika (Delta State) dialect.

For discerning observers, the thematic and temporal interplay between Ms. Haye's Art Exhibition and the ��'s (AUN) trajectory emerges as salient and subtly profound. Marking its 22nd year as a first generation private university in Nigeria, AUN's recent ascension to Nigeria's top-ranked university in the Times Higher Education 2025 rankings imbues the exhibition's timing with serendipitous symbolism. Against a backdrop of global academic upheaval and Nigeria's economic volatility, the university has carved an audacious path—surpassing enrollment milestones, spearheading sustainable energy innovations, and advancing community-centric development initiatives. The exhibition, in turn, mirrors this narrative of resilience, its photo frames pulsating with the quiet yet thunderous euphoria of triumph over adversity. Here, creativity and institutional tenacity converge, transforming the gallery into a meditation on perseverance—a testament to how vision, when steadfastly nurtured, can flourish even in the most turbulent soils.

AUN President Professor DeWayne Frazier is thrilled and fully invested: “AUN takes great pride when one of our alumni return to the institution to share about their experiences since graduation. Ms. Haye Okoh is an outstanding young entrepreneur who has a keen sense for the creative. Not only is she an accomplished artist but she is also premiering a Nollywood movie in theatres across the country in the near future. This art exhibit personifies the type of students the AUN attempts to mold, a renaissance person who has knowledge in multiple areas and with a deep ability to express themselves in various mediums”.

Ms. Haye boldly employs the metaphor of pregnancy and birth to explore themes of renewal, resilience and transformation. Her reflection on what motivated her to choose this theme are equally thoughtful. From the unpredictability of pregnancy as natures ordained process of creation (being an instrument of creation, even the mother has limited say on the order of things). Ms. Haye speaks about the discomfort and uncertainties of pregnancy, through the pangs of labor and the defiant sacrifice of motherhood. Connecting through are the paroxysms of whirling thoughts in pregnancy – abortion, surrogacy, paternity, pre and ante-natal uncertainties. And her message is no less defiant. It is from blood and sweat that nature births a new beginning. Don't give up. Don't abort the dream. There is beauty to cheer long after the agony of childbirth is forgotten.

Ms. Haye could not help likening the birth process to the story of life itself. All beauty, all success begins from an inner pain and as the mother knows quite well, pushing through until the baby comes is the same as pushing through an idea until it is successful.

Nbide Ofun is a narrative of the creation story, philosophically. It is a metaphor of evolution, the mystery of the interplay between the human spirit and human anatomy bringing a new life, the interplay of pain and joy in birthing a new beginning. It also chronicles the power of intermediacy in facilitating the creation story.

The Nbide Ofun art exhibition would not be the first time artists would explore the themes of pregnancy and birth as metaphors for new beginnings. Classical and Contemporary Art Exhibitions Using Pregnancy as a Metaphor for New Beginnings have been explored across cultures, historical periods, and artistic mediums, reflecting both literal and symbolic transformations. While Classical works like the Annunciation tie pregnancy to divine purpose, contemporary art emphasizes individual choice and resistance.

Young Nigerian artists have also stirred, at various exhibitions, the contentious Divine vs. Human Agency debate. Contemporary Nigerian art explores individual choice and resistance in pregnancy, addressing the Divine vs. Human Agency debate. Artists like Peju Alatise and Nnenna Okore connect pregnancy to freedom, cultural preservation, and ecological renewal, symbolizing new beginnings.

As art often mirrors reality, it could not have been lost on many enthusiasts at the Nbide Ofun exhibition that the metaphor of a new beginning aptly applies to both Ms. Haye and her alma mater. She graduated from the Communication & Multimedia (CMD) department in 2012, having majored in Film and Television. Since then Ms. Haye has had a pulsating professional career and was personal photographer to a former Nigeria's first lady for eight years. She has moved from "political photography to social impact", and "embracing her first love, she ventured into film production in 2023, supervised and produced a growing pool of films under the umbrella of Sozo Films".

On arrival to the campus of the ��, she could hardly recognize her famous alma mater although she did remember a few faces. AUN has come a long way since she graduated 13 years ago; with many more academic and administrative buildings sprawling up and more academic programs added. The student population has tremendously blossomed and what was an idea, a concept back when Ms. Haye was enrolled in 2009, the year AUN graduated the first cohort, has become the university ranked as Number One by the prestigious THE. Don't abort the dream, Ms. Haye said. Looking at the success AUN has become, abortion would have been such a terrible waste.

Entering the enchanting offices of the Dean of Student Affairs, the Sesugh Anger, the cerebral Mechanical Engineer, Ms. Haye scarcely recognized her esteemed alma mater, though a handful of weathered landmarks and familiar faces anchored her to the past. Thirteen years had transformed AUN into a beacon of academic excellence beyond the imagination of its pioneer students and community. Where once stood a fledgling institution now sprawled a vibrant campus, with aesthetically appealing state-of-the art Law, Engineering blocks and environmentally-themed administrative hubs. The student body, once a small, pioneering cohort in 2009—the year AUN celebrated its inaugural graduating class—had blossomed into a thriving, diverse community. Programs now spanned cutting-edge disciplines, and the university itself had soared to claim the title of Number One in Nigeria by Times Higher Education (THE), a dizzying height only imagined during Ms. Haye's student days. There was no Graduate School in her days but today, under the guidance of a visionary President and a world-class Dean, the AUN Graduate School has emerged the fastest-growing academic program with unprecedented potential.

I watched Ms. Haye take a breath under a tree in front of the award-winning Robert Pastor e-Library and Resource Center, a landmark learning facility, completed and commissioned in 2014, two years after her graduation. I could recreate her flurry of thoughts: "Imagine if we'd aborted the dream of the ��."

SITC PhD Candidates Present Groundbreaking Research on Africa’s Development Challenges

2025-04-24T12:13:46+00:00

AUN ESI Hub Sparks Powerful Dialogue on Gender Equity

2025-04-24T12:12:17+00:00

The Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation (ESI) Hub at the �� (AUN) hosted a compelling discussion titled “If We Didn’t Choose Our Gender, Why Look Down on the Other?” The event brought together students, faculty, and staff to examine systemic gender discrimination and explore paths toward inclusivity.

Keynote speaker Mr. Luqman Olasunkanmi Jimoh, a senior laboratory technologist and gender advocate, approached the topic from a biological perspective. Highlighting the genetic similarities between genders, he challenged long-held societal biases. “We did not choose our gender, yet many are judged, limited, and silenced because of it. This is not just unjust, it is inhumane,” he said. His presentation addressed structural barriers in education, healthcare, and leadership that disproportionately affect women across Africa.

Political analyst and grassroots advocate Mr. Moses added a personal dimension to the conversation, sharing stories of girls denied education and women struggling for recognition in professional spaces. “This isn’t just about women, it’s about what kind of society we’re building when we silence half of it,” he stated.

AUN President Dr. Dewayne Frazier affirmed the university’s commitment to equity, citing the progress of female leaders on campus. He shared the story of a student who was told, “Leadership is for boys.” Today, she holds a prominent role in a campus organization, an evidence that barriers are being broken at AUN.

The event encouraged open dialogue around patriarchy, cultural norms, and misinterpreted religious doctrines that sustain inequality. Moderator Ms. Bilikisu Alkali emphasized collective action, declaring, “Equity is not a favor, it’s a right.” Attendees left with a renewed commitment to advance gender equity through education, advocacy, and everyday actions.

AUN Partners with TETFund to Enhance Local Training of Academic Staff

2025-04-21T15:30:15+00:00

Yola, Adamawa, 21st April, 2025.

The �� (AUN) is proud to announce its selection as one of the first private universities to partner with the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) in a groundbreaking initiative to enhance the local training of academic staff across Nigerian universities.

Following a high-level engagement with TETFund officials, AUN has been chosen to participate in the newly redesigned TETFund Graduate/Postgraduate Scholarship Program, which now prioritizes domestic academic training over international scholarships. This strategic shift aims to address the challenge of “brain drain,” as many past recipients of foreign scholarships did not return to contribute to Nigeria’s higher education sector.

AUN’s inclusion in the program stresses its rising national profile and academic distinction. The selection was based on the university’s outstanding reputation, high rankings, and uninterrupted academic calendar. Notably, AUN is Nigeria’s top-ranked university in the 2024 Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, a key factor in TETFund’s decision.

In response to the partnership, AUN President, Dr. DeWayne Frazier, stated, “AUN is proud to be among the first private universities to partner with this program, as we see a strong synergy between our mission of academic excellence and TETFund’s efforts to elevate educational quality in Nigerian universities. AUN’s reputation for outstanding scholarship, coupled with uninterrupted academic calendar, makes us an ideal fit for this initiative.”

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for AUN and reflects the growing recognition of the university’s role in shaping the future of higher education in Nigeria. The university remains committed to developing world-class academics who will contribute meaningfully to national development through quality education, research, and community engagement.

AUN Law Students Showcase Skills in Moot Court Trial

2025-04-14T18:54:06+00:00

On March 8, 2025, the �� (AUN) School of Law held a moot court trial as part of its 2025 Law Week activities. The event, organized by the Law Students Society (LSS), featured two student teams, Liberty and Equity, debating a simulated kidnapping case in the School of Law courtroom.

Presiding over the trial was Barr. Gabriel Adikwu, Principal of Elo-heem Chamber who served as the judge for the proceedings. The mock trial provided a platform for students to demonstrate their legal reasoning, courtroom procedure, and advocacy skills in a competitive setting.

The trial began with the arraignment of the accused, followed by examination-in-chief, cross-examinations, and legal arguments from both sides. Citing precedents and statutory provisions, the student counsels made their case before the judge in a session that lasted over three hours.

In the end, the court ruled in favor of the defense. The accused was discharged and acquitted due to the prosecution’s failure to present compelling evidence beyond reasonable doubt.

Barr. Adikwu commended both teams for their performance, noting their mastery of legal principles, confidence, and courtroom demeanor. “In terms of your knowledge, applicability of relevant laws, your choices of words, and confidence, you are excellent,” he said. The moot court trial was one of the highlights of the week-long celebration.

AI Workshop Equips Staff with Digital Skills for the Future

2025-04-14T18:52:47+00:00

The Human Resources Department of the �� (AUN) on April 10, 2025, organized a dynamic workshop aimed at enhancing workplace efficiency through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Held at the e-Library Auditorium, the session was tailored for administrative, professional, and senior staff members of the institution.

Engineer Amina Abubakar, a seasoned computer scientist and human management expert, led the workshop with an insightful presentation on the fundamentals of AI. She introduced participants to the two main categories of AI: narrow (or weak) AI, which is designed for specific tasks, and general (or strong) AI, which is capable of performing a wide range of functions similar to human intelligence.

Abubakar showcased a variety of AI tools that can be applied to streamline workplace tasks, including ChatGPT, Gemina, Grammarly, Google Search, Notion, and Microsoft Dictate. Using real-time demonstrations, she illustrated how these tools can be integrated into daily workflows to boost productivity and effectiveness. However, she emphasized the importance of combining AI tools with critical thinking, ethical judgment, and professional knowledge to remain relevant and accountable in an evolving work environment.

In her opening remarks, AUN’s Vice President for Finance, Mrs. Nnenna Mosugu, underscored the importance of embracing AI in the workplace. She encouraged staff to adopt AI tools for better time management and improved output quality. Addressing common concerns, she reassured participants that “AI won't take your jobs,” she said. “Instead, people who know how to use AI effectively will take the jobs of those who don't.”

Also speaking at the event, HR Director Mr. Mustapha Abubakar urged staff to take full advantage of the training opportunity. He highlighted the university’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancement and the crucial role of staff in that mission. “AUN needs to move with the time, if AUN must move with the times, that means you must move with the time because AUN relies on you,” he affirmed.

Students Learn Strategies for Effective Academic Writing and Research

2025-04-14T18:49:30+00:00

In an effort to empower students with the tools for scholarly success, the AUN Writing Center, in collaboration with the English Department, hosted an interdisciplinary seminar on March 7, 2025, dedicated to refining academic writing and research skills. Held at the 24-Hour Library Space, the event brought together undergraduate and graduate students for an interactive workshop.

Dr. Richard Awoshiri Kamai, Chair of the English Department, shared strategies for improving academic writing across various levels of scholarship with the participants. Emphasizing the importance of ethical and effective communication, Dr. Kamai introduced students to John Swales’ Creating a Research Space (C.A.R.S.) model, a foundational framework for writing research article introductions. This approach provided participants with practical tools for understanding the rhetorical structure of academic texts and encouraged them to move beyond formulaic writing to become intentional, reflective scholars.

Participants were guided through the fundamentals of academic inquiry, critical thinking, and scholarly writing. The session on genre analysis was particularly impactful, helping them realize that academic writing involves more than grammar and structure, it’s about how knowledge is constructed and communicated within disciplines. This foundation prepares students for advanced writing projects such as honors theses, capstone papers, and postgraduate research.

Graduate students, meanwhile, focused on more advanced writing demands. Dr. Kamai discussed how the C.A.R.S. model applies to different sections of research papers, including introductions, methodologies, results, and discussions. Participants explored the nuances of identifying research gaps, articulating contributions, and aligning with disciplinary conventions. Real-world issues such as plagiarism and the misuse of AI tools were also addressed.

In his closing remarks, Professor Adewale James, Director of the Graduate School, commended the collaboration between the Writing Center and the English Department. He noted that initiatives like this help demystify academic writing and reduce the anxiety many students feel around research.

Silicon Valley Professor Advocates for Entrepreneurial Marketing in Rapidly Evolving Market

2025-04-10T12:22:48+00:00

Dr. Fabian Eggers, a marketing professor at Menlo College in Silicon Valley, USA emphasized the value of entrepreneurial marketing during a virtual lecture hosted by the �� (AUN) on March 28.

Speaking as part of the AUN President Lecture Series, Eggers introduced Entrepreneurial Marketing (EM) as a modern approach that relies on creativity, risk-taking, and customer-focused solutions to drive business growth.

“Entrepreneurial marketing is the process of value generation through the creation of a unique combination of resource aimed at the utilization of opportunities to value by creatively combining resources to seize opportunities and drive profit, he said.”

Unlike traditional marketing, which typically follows a top-down structure starting with market segmentation and product placement, EM adopts a bottom-up approach. Eggers explained that this method begins by identifying a market need or opportunity and then developing solutions around it.

He encouraged businesses of all kinds, public, private, or start-ups, to adopt EM principles to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. While traditional methods still have a role in sectors like hospitality or retail, Eggers advocated for experience-based learning and modern marketing strategies in more innovative, risk-taking industries. He noted that EM can be more cost-effective and attract loyal, long-term customers.

The lecture was delivered via Zoom and held at AUN’s 24-Hour Library, drawing an audience of students and faculty interested in entrepreneurship and contemporary business practices.
