At the recently held NASELS Summit 2.0, hosted by the Department of English on 13th June, 2024, at Obafemi Awolowo University, students were given insight into the vast area of career opportunities that await them after graduation. The summit's theme, "Potential Career Paths and Opportunities for English Language and Literature Graduates," was brought to life by a number of distinguished speakers.
One such speaker was Mr. Olusesan Samuel Kayode, who emphasized the importance of mental health and stress management for students.
Another highlight of the summit was the wisdom shared by Professor E. T. O Babalola, the Head of Department of English, who reminded students that the word "university" means a corporation, guild, or society. His message emphasized the idea that a university should be a place not just for learning but also for learning how to learn.
The summit also included an interactive session, a question-and-answer period, and an insightful presentation by Professor Ayoola, who discussed the seven blocks of success.
This summit in a bid to answer students most asked question of what future awaits them after this degree, was a book release by English for Specific Purposes practitioners of the department viz.; Prof. Ayoola, Prof. E. T. O. Babalola and Dr. Faleye
The NASELS Summit 2.0 was an educational and enjoyable experience for all participants. The speakers provided valuable insights into the diverse career paths available to English language and literature graduates, and the interactive sessions allowed students to engage with the material in a more personal way. It's clear that the future is bright for students with a degree in English, as the skills they've developed in critical thinking, communication, and analysis will serve them well in a variety of fields.
The NASELS president, Popoola Moses, gave the vote of thanks, the item 7 was served and this led to the graceful closing of the summit.
