A university education provides students with more than just a body of knowledge or an area of expertise. It provides the tools for a life of continuous learning, the skills of creativity, problem-solving and leadership. Never has a university education been more important or valuable than its today. We began a year ago as a Savannah University, to serve the educational needs of students living in Somalia. Nevertheless, Savannah University has now fortunately established its credibility and reputation through hardships and regained strength to achieve its mission like any other university in a war-torn country. Our commitment to our students is unrelenting. Over the last 10 months we have invested heavily in enhancing the student experience, including a step that no other university has ever taken. We have set up a well-functioning faculty. Savannah University represents a new generation of universities. It draws from the past and designs the future. But it lives and breathes in the present. Through Savannah University, students become vitally connected to the world they inhabit – a world of ideas of challenges and possibilities. The University will create a new model for higher education and will produce the minds that would shape the modern industrial world.
