Hensard University’s International Standards, Core Values Make It Distinct – Sen. Dickson

FOUNDER of Hensard University, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, has asked the students to embrace the core values which make the school distinct. Senator Dickson spoke at an interactive session, with the students, where he restated that the purpose of the university was to produce leaders and entrepreneurs, in different fields whose values will make a difference to humanity.

“The university has invested in training ethical leaders through her core values that emphasise character and skills to develop the total human being. Hensard’s 12 Core Values are to guide you to becoming responsible, ethical, honourable citizens, leaders and servants to God and humanity, as encapsulated in Hensard’s motto, “Qui Servit Homo, Servit Deo” (He who serves man, serves God),” he told the pioneer students.

“As pioneer students, you are the unique set of Hensard students who are the first to experience our facilities, global standards and practices. You will not only imbibe the Hensard core values, but pass them on to other sets.”

He said Hensard’s core values, “Belief in God; Service to God & Humanity; Love & Compassion towards all; Courage of Conviction; Integrity & Honour at all times; Respect & Tolerance for all; Hardwork & Responsibility; Passion in everything; Innovation & Entreprise; Discipline; Gratitude; Excellence, are the foundation on which we are training you to be impactful leaders.

“Hensard University does not tolerate indiscipline. Definitely, bullying in any form is a no-no here. As you act, bear our core values in mind, for without them, the purpose of the training you will get at Hensard University will be lost.”

Senator Dickson said the session was the first “in a series of regular interactions that the students would have with leaders in different fields where they have excelled, established themselves as thought leaders with experiences and inspiring lives that would spur you to broaden your perspectives on issues”.

He advised the students to avail themselves of the facilities at Hensard University and enjoy world class education in Nigeria.

“By choosing Hensard you would benefit from the university’s uniqueness that we summarise as the Hensard Advantage. They are distinct innovations that the university has brought to higher education,” the former Governor of Bayelsa State, said.

Hensard will equip you with real-world experiences and entrepreneurial skills.
