He said Hensard students at all levels of learning would be taught entrepreneurship and encouraged to become real entrepreneurs while in school, through exposure to practical involvement in running, overseeing and management of businesses in their chosen fields.

According to him, the students, while undertaking their entrepreneurial study, will be under the guidance and mentorship of the school authorities.

He said the unique international, industrial, advisory boards and linkages available to the school, would help to facilitate effective mentorship, to avail students with current knowledge for them to become global citizens.

The vice chancellor said Hensard University was committed to its vision and mission of comprehensive development of the human being, impact society in a transformational way locally, nationally, and worldwide.

The school, he said, was also committed to transforming students through innovative teaching and entrepreneurial involvements promoting life-long learning.

“It strives for the highest standards in academics, research and innovation, but it places emphases on character, morality, and spirituality without which academic qualification or life, by Hensard University standards, is incomplete.”

According to Prof. Kumar, the school is ultimately targeted at producing ethical students and leaders with sound personality, character, enduring emotions, and sound intellect for better service to society.
