The Beginning of a New Dawn

ULES DIGEST — ISSUE 1

Welcome to the first-ever ULES Bi-weekly Digest. History is being made as you read this. This is where gist meets updates, where motion meets humour, and where you finally stop saying “Nobody told me.”

It is officially 37 days to the resumption of a new academic session and back to the grind of being students again — and some more time to enjoy the freedom of being on holiday. While you are at your flex, remember you can always learn a skill or two.

This week, your new ULES executives officially started their tenure. New vibes, new plans, new people to shout at when you need something. If you need updates on what they are up to, this is the place to be.

INFO DESK

Welcome to Info Corner, your inside scoop on all things ULES. Think of it as the bridge between what the executives know and what you know: a space for updates, decisions and the behind-the-scenes stories that shape your ULES experience. From projects to policies, wins to work-in-progress, Info Corner keeps you informed, connected and part of the journey — because ULES isn't just about the excos in office, it's about all of us together.

— Damilare Aribisala, Public Relations Officer, 25/26 Academic Session

FROM THE AGS' DESK

“This Digest isn't just about info — it's about you. Your voice, your growth, and your experience in this faculty. Let's make it fun, let's make it useful, and most importantly, let's keep it moving.”

— Olamide Lawal, Assistant General Secretary, 25/26 Academic Session
