Eastern Technical University of Sierra Leone welcomed hundreds of incoming students during its annual orientation on 16 and 17 January 2025. The two-day programme was held at the main amphitheatre and the university's Nixon Location, introducing new students to the people, services and spaces that will shape their first term.
Vice Chancellor and Principal Prof. Mohamed Taillu Lahai opened the ceremony. The university says the programme combined practical introductions with opportunities for students to meet faculty members, senior students and the Student Union, and to ask questions about academic expectations and campus life.
Representatives from the Registrar, ICT Directorate, Library Services and Student Affairs explained the services students would use during their studies. ETU-SL's report says the ICT session covered online portals, digital learning platforms and other tools intended to support academic work.
A campus tour completed the programme, taking students through lecture halls, laboratories, the library and recreational areas. Registrar John Juana closed the event by reaffirming the university's commitment to a supportive learning environment for the new cohort.
