Editorial: Embracing the Pause – A Break Amidst the New Session at the University of Port Harcourt. The start of a new academic session is always an exciting time at the University of Port Harcourt. With fresh faces, renewed energy, and the promise of new opportunities, the campus is once again alive with the buzz of learning, engagement, and discovery. However, as the semester picks up speed, it’s also a time when the university community, from students to staff, finds itself in a brief yet essential interlude—a momentary pause before diving back into the full swing of academic and administrative responsibilities. As the Christmas season approaches and festivities begin to spread throughout the university community, the pause also offers a chance to reflect on what truly matters. For students, this break allows for time with family and friends, reconnecting with loved ones, and finding the mental clarity to approach the semester with renewed focus and determination. For the faculty and administration, it provides a moment to reset—to step away from the day-to-day grind and return with a fresh perspective, ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the semester ahead. Uniport, with its blend of academic excellence, research innovation, and vibrant campus life, has always been a place where the pace of activity can sometimes feel overwhelming. But it’s in moments like this—the brief break between the initial rush and the sustained grind—that we’re reminded of the importance of balance. While we may be ready to dive into the full swing of academic life, it’s essential to embrace these pauses, for they help us maintain our energy, our focus, and our passion for what we do. As official duties wind down during this interlude, let’s take a moment to appreciate the power of rest and reflection. This break is not just about slowing down, but about recalibrating, preparing for what’s next, and ensuring that we return with a renewed commitment to the university’s vision of excellence. It’s a time to remember that in order to move forward, we must sometimes take a step back—to recharge, reconnect, and refocus. _____________________________________________ We have a WhatsApp channel.
