The recent UWS open day event hosted by Global Scholars Connect was nothing short of inspiring. Students, professionals, and partners came together for a day filled with learning, meaningful conversations, and community spirit. From powerful talks to one-on-one consultations, the event was designed to empower attendees and give them practical next steps in their journey.

The UWS Section: Inspiring Talks

The main program kicked off with impactful speeches that set the tone for the day. Mr. Ahmed shared insightful perspectives on opportunities available to students, while Weddy Kajuju, the founder, spoke passionately about the vision behind Global Scholars Connect and the importance of empowering young people to take bold steps toward their future.

These sessions were not only informative but also highly motivating, reminding attendees that their goals are achievable with the right guidance and support.

Q&A Session: Real Questions, Real Answers

One of the highlights of the event was the interactive Q&A session. Students were eager to ask questions about admissions, career pathways, and personal experiences. The panel took time to address each concern with honesty and clarity, making sure no one left with unanswered doubts.

This part of the event gave participants practical knowledge and boosted their confidence to take the next step in their journey.

Food & Refreshments: A Taste of Community

No great event is complete without good food  and this one was no exception! Attendees enjoyed a variety of delicious meals that not only fueled the day but also created a relaxed environment for conversations. Sharing food together gave everyone a chance to connect on a more personal level, making the event feel warm and welcoming.

Networking: Building Connections That Last

Beyond the program, the networking sessions were a major highlight. Students got to meet like-minded peers, exchange ideas, and build connections with professionals. Many attendees mentioned that they left the event not only with information but also with friendships and collaborations that will carry on beyond the event.

Networking was a reminder that success often grows from community.

Private Consultations: Personalized Guidance

The private consultations offered a unique opportunity for attendees to have one-on-one conversations with experts. These sessions allowed students to discuss their specific goals and challenges in detail, receiving tailored advice and support.

For many, this was the most valuable part of the day: a chance to be heard individually and leave with clear, actionable steps.

Student Reviews: Voices That Matter

Several students shared their excitement about the event:

• “This gave me so much clarity about my next steps, I feel more confident now.” 
• “The consultations really helped me understand the process better.” 
• “I loved connecting with other students who share the same goals as me.” 

These reviews reflected the true impact of the event’s practical support mixed with encouragement and inspiration.
