A second-year Medical Microbiology student at MUST, Francis Nkhoma, has taken the initiative to give back to his former secondary school by motivating learners towards academic excellence and higher education.
As an alumnus of Hope Green Light Secondary School in Lilongwe, Francis recently visited the school to engage Forms 3 and 4 students in a career talk and academic excellence session.
The session was aimed at encouraging learners to work hard and consider MUST as their preferred institution for tertiary education.
During the visit, Francis shared his personal academic journey, highlighting how dedication and discipline helped him achieve 12 points in 2022, earning him a place at MUST.
He also introduced students to the various programmes offered at the university, emphasizing MUSTโs role as one of Malawiโs most innovative higher learning institutions.
The session covered key topics, including career guidance, study strategies, time management, innovation, and university life.
Francis encouraged students to remain focused on their goals and reassured them that success is achievable through hard work and commitment.
Tadala Banda, a Form 4 student, expressed interest in pursuing a science-related career and said the session opened her eyes to opportunities in STEM.
The school's headteacher, Mr James Chawanda, praised the initiative, describing it as timely and impactful.
He noted that the session sparked motivation for career development and university progression while providing practical guidance on study strategies and networking.
Francis said he felt humbled by the positive response from both teachers and learners, adding that he hopes more MUST students and alumni could reach out to schools to inspire the next generation.
