This event was not just a ceremony but a powerful testament to the college’s mission to equip students with the skills needed to make a profound impact in their fields.
Bridging the Skills Gap with Empathy and Expertise
The ceremony began with heartfelt opening remarks from Nurse Angela Chizea, Head of the Health School at CLI College. She highlighted the college’s unwavering commitment to preparing students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in their chosen professions.
The keynote address, delivered by Opeyemi Odusola, CEO of XM Solutions Limited, was a source of inspiration for the graduates. His words underscored the vital role of empathy and human connection in healthcare. “Graduates, this is the first day of the rest of your lives,” Odusola said. “Everything is just now beginning for you. That’s why this is called a commencement… Now, you sit here much better equipped to take on the world and establish your legacy.”
Odusola spoke passionately about viewing healthcare as a calling rather than merely a profession. He emphasized that the true essence of caregiving lies in the deep empathy and understanding required to support patients at their most vulnerable moments. He referred to the graduates as “superheroes” and “guardians of hope,” acknowledging the sacrifices and emotional demands they would face. His message was a powerful reminder of the crucial role that compassion and dedication play in patient care and recovery.
