Held in the 2nd week of August at Limkokwing University Lesotho’s campus under the theme ‘Yonder in Creativity’, the lively event spanned three exciting days. The orientation ceremony was attended by 1000 excited new students eager to kick start their journey into the future. When opening the event, Limkokwing Lesotho Registrar, Mr. Moroka Hoohlo said the University had high hopes for the new students.
“I am truly hopeful that with this batch of students we only have leaders and trend setters that the industry awaits to reshape what is available into a cutting edge environment,” he said.
He went on to encourage the students to keep the hunger and ambition in their eyes throughout their studies and develop a desire to be the change that the country needs to rise to a developed nation status.

“The University will provide the conducive, stimulating and motivating environment to help students to succeed in achieving all that they want,” the message read.
It went on to encourage students to explore their creativity and take advantage of the opportunity offered to them. Tan Sri Limkokwing’s message also reminded the students to access their childhood curiosity in order to truly reach their full potential.
“We all began life as thinkers. As children we were most creative, we were hungry for knowledge. We were willing to do anything. We wanted to do everything. Nothing was impossible”
