The William V.S. Tubman University held its first capping and badging ceremony for nursing students. 35 students from the College of Health Sciences were presented with badges and caps, symbolizing their entry into the nursing profession. The ceremony was well-organized and included the students reciting the Nightingale Pledge. The keynote speaker, Rev. Dr. Soney Comfort Lake, encouraged the students to continue their education and provide compassionate care to patients. She urged Tubman University to adopt new technologies to enhance learning. The ceremony celebrated the students' achievement and commitment to the important work of nursing.
5 employees of William V.S. Tubman University were awarded scholarships through the university's Grow Our Own Scholarship Program to pursue Master's degrees at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria.

The program aims to allow deserving employees to further their education and professional development while improving staff recruitment and retention. This was the second batch of recipients, with the first group currently studying in Uganda and Liberia.

The Foreign Minister of Liberia called for continued financial support for William V. S. Tubman University. He said the university is providing a good return on the government's investment and deserves more funding to further the national development agenda. The Foreign Minister recalled how the university was reopened in 2009 despite skepticism due to its remote location, with seed funding provided through the national budget with support from the President and other stakeholders. He praised the university's transformation and said it has justified the funds provided and deserves more government support going forward.

This document discusses building the capacity of communities and institutions related to water education. It proposes that water educators act as the world's first social workers by facilitating societal transformation through participatory learning and catalyzing science and technology-based solutions. The document outlines how water educators can engage communities by responding to local needs, facilitating cross-generational and cross-cultural dialogues, and documenting best practices. The desired impacts include anchoring and promoting community innovations, strengthening participatory decision-making, and enhancing access to water and sanitation solutions. Urgently needed are more science-based organizations with indigenous knowledge and innovative communication methods to support environmental foresight and risk analysis.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
The chapter Lifelines of National Economy in Class 10 Geography focuses on the various modes of transportation and communication that play a vital role in the economic development of a country.

Poem
Reflective Notes
By Rev. Rita Townsend
Be one to note
One „man‟ one vote
Determined by laws on the books
If you care to take a look
You‟ll see your right to vote;
Our fragile democracy
Our youthful populace
Call for very sober thought
That our vote was not for naught;
Exercise freedom, your righteous might
But remember yours should not snuff my light;
Is that what you want
Despite being warned?
The good for us all
Depends on our love
One for another
For our fathers and mothers
For our sons and daughters;
Love for our land
Established by God‟s command
Liberia lives
Liberia is saved
All hail
Liberia hail!!
