Vice Chancellor’s
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO 2023 GRADUATES

Dear Graduates,

Congratulations to our 2023 cohort of
graduates! This is indeed a milestone
for everyone graduating this year,
considering where we were not
so long ago during your tenure as
students. Suffice to say – this is a
glorious achievement, and you should
enjoy every moment of it.

This is the first step into a daunting new
world for most graduates, but one
you should cherish, considering the
extensive option-list as a result of your
acquired qualification. One difficult part is behind you, now you
have the tools to face the next daunting task - the world of work.
But rest assured, the qualification you have obtained will make life
easier henceforth, and you will be rewarded for it.

Go out there, consider your options and make calculated
decisions – don’t just jump at the first-best opportunity that lands
at your doorstep. That is what a UNAM qualification affords you –
OPTIONS!

A humble request from my side. In your world of work, be an
example of your alma mater and always keep in mind what you
want to be known for as an alumnus of this Institution - how YOU
could contribute to new graduates’ lives once they complete their
journeys at UNAM. This could be achieved simply by being a force
to reckon with out there in the workforce of Namibia or globally!

Congratulations once again, and may you enjoy the fruits of your
hard work to the fullest! This is your moment!

Prof. Kenneth Matengu
Vice Chancellor
