A warm welcome to all students and staff. I trust that you are all ready for the challenge that this academic semester will bring. The impact of COVID-19 makes this a difficult period in the history of the University, the country, and indeed the world. The human spirit has overcome larger challenges in the past and together we will also get through this period.
