IUM declares 2021 the year of improved performance
On 3 March 2021, the International University of Management (IUM) held its commencement ceremony to mark the start of the 2021 academic year. All the students and lecturers attended the ceremony.
IUM aims for the year of 2021 to be the year of improved performance. To achieve this objective, it requires strict discipline and commitment from the students.
The foundation of this prestigious university is a story of discipline, a story of setting goals, a story of determination, a story of hard work and, most importantly, a story of perseverance.
IUM was founded with one student and one professor. Like a weaver bird that starts its nest with one stick, today, IUM has a family of over 8 000 people with campuses across the country.
“I was a student just like you, thrown into the deep end of a new world, a big city with different cultures,” Ipeinge Etuwete Mundjulu, the university’s national coordinator, told the students. It was through discipline, determination, hard work and perseverance that he achieved his goals, he said.
“In these unprecedented times of the Covid-19 pandemic, Professor David Namwandi provided Africa with direction forward for education system, and I quote, ‘We in Africa should not wait for the messiah to come from elsewhere, we should move with the trend in order to become masters of our own destiny. The education of our people should not come to a standstill because of the outbreak of the new coronavirus; instead, it should rather be intensified through various e-learning mechanisms, without compromising the education standards and I am certain history shall absolve us’,” Mundjulu said.
Mundjulu told the students that there will be difficulties to face: “The road ahead will be long; the climb will be steep.”
He said IUM has recognised the need to invest in environmental research with the recently established Centre for Environment Studies (CES) aiming to address the dynamics of environmental management, climate change adaptation and sustainable development. This tailor-made course, the first in Namibia’s tertiary education, continues to prove the excellence of IUM in responding to changing times.
