It is in HIGH SPIRITS😌 (and an eerie, tiny feeling of exam urgency😔) that I sit down to write this letter to you.
How did January treat you,my friend?
For me, it was really fast. One minute I was binge-watching my favorite horror series of all time-FROM( Only true horror fans that know BALL can relate🌚), and the next minute, I'm having back-to-back tests, assignments, and crazily long lab sessions!
And to sum it all up, I saw the official schedule for exams right in my dm the first thing this morning!!
How and when did we get here?😩
Anyway, as the humble gentleman that I am, I'm here to reassure you (and myself😔) that it'll be fine at the end of the day. Put in the work, stay consistent, ask for help if you need any, and do your best!
One thing I know is that you can never go wrong with this timeless piece of advice right here.
IEEE UNILAG SB is rooting for you, and we'll always have your back.
Anywaysss, do you remember when I told you in our previous newsletter that we have big plans for you and our student community this year?
Please, walk with me.😌
I present to you...
(Drum rolls..🥁)
Our first event of the year-
DEMYSTIFYING TECH!!🤩
The Tech Ecosystem is exciting yet pretty vast, and we understand how hard it can be to navigate the landscape. In my favorite lecturer's words, it really isn't Rocket Science, and we're here to guide you on how to break new ground in the Tech Space.
Day 1 will be held live on X spaces tomorrow, the 1st of February, by noon. We've got the best set of speakers lined up, ready to share valuable insights in their respective fields.
Trust me, you wouldn't want to miss out on it. Want more info about the speakers? Check them out here
Turn on notifications, save the date and join in for day 1 here
Hold up✋🏽, I'm not done yet😏
We'd also be having our first PHYSICAL community session of the year on the 8th of February!!!
It's going to be super lit!
You'll get the opportunity to meet and connect with fellow student members, tech enthusiasts, tech experts, the executives, and we'll also be hosting Day 2 of DEMYSTIFYING TECH right there during the hangout. Exciting, right?
You'll also get the super rare, once-in-a-lifetime exclusive opportunity to meet me, the one behind the pen of DCG😌(for now)
You still haven't registered ke? Don't worry I got you, still😌:

It's been nice talking to you again, dearest community member. I'm looking forward to interacting with you virtually tomorrow, and meeting you in person! It's exam season, and while it is important to have fun, it's more important to revisit the academic board, draw up new strategies, and put in the work, especially during this period.
We're always rooting for you.
Bye for now,
I still remain Rhema,
Your friend from IEEE UNILAG SB. ❤️
