The event is being held at the School of Creative Arts (SCA) on the Central Campus of the UEW, with students from other faculties also in attendance.
According to the Planning Committee, led by the President of the Association, Stephen Zoure, this year’s event promises to be historic because of the variety of activities lined up compared to previous years.
“This festival is a tribute to your tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to shaping the future of communication in our society. It is because of your influence that we believe in the power of words to create change, foster understanding, and advance democratic principles.
As we participate in the events lined up over the next six days, let us recognise that we are part of something historic, something that will be remembered as a defining chapter in UEW’s history,” Zoure revealed in an interview.
Activities for this year’s festival include fun games, time with lecturers, and a dinner and awards night to recognise the contributions of members and alumni of the School of Communication and Media Studies (SCMS), which will mark its 20th anniversary in 2027.
