The Beginning of a New Era
Developer Student Club (DSC) University of Lagos Chapter, held its first event of the year as the new lead, Ifihan Olusheye started her tenure. Due to the pandemic, the virtual event held on the 2nd of October 2020 and was organized to educate, involve, and engage its members regarding the plans, opportunities, and programs the club had prepared for them.
This year’s Info session was hosted by the Lead of DSC University of Lagos. She is working to ensure that DSC Unilag improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the learning resources and programs towards ensuring the growth of its members.
The virtual Google Meet event had quite a large number of attendees even though it was virtual. It was a 2-hour session introducing participants to the Developer Student Club (DSC) in University of Lagos.
The aim of the info session was to ensure that the students of University of Lagos, Nigeria meet and greet with the DSC community on campus, but, more importantly, to educate students on how they can learn, contribute and grow the community.
