My name is Bijany Liep, a third-year student at the University of Juba, pursuing a degree in Geology and Mining, specializing in Mineral Resources. For me, university has always been more than a pathway to a degree; it is a vibrant ecosystem of diverse lives, ideas, and, most importantly, potential for collective action. I believe that our education is not truly complete until we step outside the lecture hall and apply it to the world around us.
