The platform seeks to promote the school’s students and alumni who are exploring and excelling at the spheres of Art, Technology, Business and so on.
The first project from UitesCreate would be unveiled virtually Today (Saturday), 13th August 2016, and it is tagged “The UitesWrite Anthology.”
It is a collection of over 200 poems which were selected from about 400 submissions from poets in the university student and alumni community.
The project, which started around September 2015, has materialised into a digital book, which would be available for free download on UitesCreate.org as from Saturday.
Dr. Olayinka Egbokhare, the Author of Dazzling Mirage which was adapted into a blockbuster movie by Tunde Kelani, wrote the foreword of the book.
She wrote: ”The journey took me like in a swirl through curves and crevices, and streets broad and narrow and left me richer than when the journey began.
“It is refreshing to see intending Pharmacists, Doctors, Engineers and other scientists become word -smiths who succeeded in breathing fresh air into this favourite pastime of many sages.”
The founders believe that Unibadan students have what it takes to positively affect the immediate society and the world at large with incremental steps, and this is encompassed in their apt catchphrase: What starts here changes the world. They have several other exciting projects lined up on UitesCreate.
