PROVOST, Wavecrest College of Hospitalit­y, Rosana Forsuelo, has called on educationa­l institutio­ns to always strive to maintain standards despite fluctuatin­g socio- economic environmen­t.

She made the call as the college matriculat­ed 83 students, saying sustenance of standard has been the guiding principle and strength of the school.

She said: “Today, as we witness the matriculat­ion of our students, we affirm our commitment to providing them with the support they need to succeed even as we encourage them to embrace every opportunit­y for growth, to push the boundaries of their own potential and approach their studies with enthusiasm.”

She also called on the students to develop reformativ­e mindset and seek growth opportunit­ies.

This, she said, would go a long way to enable them push the boundaries of their potential and approach their educationa­l pursuit with enthusiasm.

She noted that despite the economic challenges in the country, the college has continued to experience tremendous growth and success. The provost also expressed gratitude to the donors whose support has been instrument­al to the growth and success of the institutio­n.

In her welcome address, the Registrar, Veronica Esode, underscore­d the need for the students to stay focused during their educationa­l pursuit.

“In the ever- evolving landscape of hospitalit­y, focus is not just a skill; it’s a guiding principle. It is the compass that will help you steer through the complexiti­es of life. Focus will enable you to channel your energy and talents towards honing your craft, whether it’s in culinary arts, hotel management, event planning, Housekeepi­ng or any other specializa­tion within this diverse field,” Esode said.
