Life’s journey will undoubtedly present challenges, but how you respond to these moments will define your path."
"As graduates of Chrisland University, you have been equipped with not just a bachelor's degree but also a certificate in Entrepreneurship and Leadership. The world beyond is fast-paced and highly competitive, and you must continually acquire new knowledge and skills to excel," she added.
Be Ambassadors of Integrity and Excellence: Your education here has been more than the pursuit of academic knowledge; it has also been an education in character, values, and integrity. Let these values guide every step you take. As you go forth, remember that the world looks to you for leadership, honesty, and purpose. Let integrity be the cornerstone of all you do, and strive to set standards of excellence that others will aspire to follow.
