- The American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, has rolled out six new engineering courses as it marked 29 uninterrupted semesters in the historic development of the university spanning over a decade.
A Press Statement issued by the university public relations division said the institution marked 29th uninterrupted semester with Matriculation of new students who took the traditional AUN Community Pledge.
The statement said the colourful event which was attended by parents and relations of the matriculating students coincided with the university’s uninterrupted 29th semester and the official roll out of its recently approved six Engineering programmes.
AUN has enjoyed 14 years of academic continuity since it admitted the first batch of 124 students in the fall 2005 semester, a feat that excites the University President, Dr. Dawn Dekle.
“The number 29 is very significant. Twenty-nine semesters, even though we’ve had many challenges in Northeast Nigeria, we have never closed our doors, nothing has ever forced us to close our doors, and we never will close our doors. Twenty-nine just means we are well and away to making 50, 75 and a 100.
