As the University of Liberia commences the graduation of its 102 graduating class today, a call has been made to the authorities of the University to thoroughly evaluate prospective graduates before giving out clearances.
River Gee County Senator, Commany Best Wesseh said a graduate should be a distinct person based on what he or she studied and how one studied because people are criticizing the performances of some of the University of Liberia’s products nowadays.
With the assigned talking point: “Post Graduate Life-challenge and Opportunities,” at the recent homecoming celebration of the UL, Wesseh expressed that some post graduates lives are linked to corruption while parents are even involved in paying instructors to graduate a student who has not completed his/her studies.
“We received lots of letters from people for employment, confirmation but it can be too shameful of their performance because these people claimed to have graduated from the University of Liberia in that kind of way,” he stated.
Wesseh pointed out how a good number graduates from the University of Liberia are not effective in their own lives because of how they came out from there.He then cited the example of the late Professor Amos Sawyer, who once taught them social science 201 which provided them with the opportunities and preparedness for those challenges which they are able to overcome not knowing what was ahead.
However, the third speaker, Louise Mapleh Kpoto, who should have addressed the topic: “The Importance of Constant Professional Self-Improvement and Creating Self-Employment,” was conspicuously absent without giving any excuse.
