Her efforts towards protecting the environment are
channelled through several initiatives, chief of which is her not-for-profit
organisation, EcoChampions, a group of 200 young environmentalists across
Nigeria, leading climate education, tree planting and climate change advocacy.
Temilade is a Chevening Scholar studying for a Masters in
Environment at the University of Sussex where she has been exposed to
tremendous opportunities to advance her mission and that of EcoChampions. She
is one of the Chevening scholars at the university who are making a
long-lasting impact in their diverse fields.
The University of Sussex has been a breeding ground for young,
exceptional students like her. Those intent on taking their career to new
levels while making a global impact.
Like Temilade, many Chevening scholars who have chosen to
study at Sussex have gone on to record unparalleled success and achievements
thus making the university a top choice among scholars. In addition to the
unique course design, University of Sussex offers multifaceted support to
scholars to help them settle and excel in their academic, personal and professional
lives.
The university also provides an opportunity for innovative
ideas to thrive by identifying and amplifying the efforts of students and
scholars who present these ideas. In addition to her £3,000 prize, Temilade had
previously been selected as a UNESCO and UNFCCC youth observer for the United
Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) that was held in Glasgow in November
2021.
In the latter role, she represents the University’s
International Office in welcoming new and prospective international students
and ensuring they settle into campus with ease. The role allows students to
develop their interpersonal communication skills, build their portfolio and
increase their employability.
It is one of the many ways the University helps students to
gain valuable experience for the workplace and prepares them for their career.
In addition to shaping scholars academically and positioning them for growth on
a global scale, the University of Sussex
is equally invested in the overall wellbeing of its students and has designed
its campus to facilitate such.
The Sussex campus is surrounded by nature and allows
students to participate in outdoor, mind-calming and focus-building activities
such as cycling, hiking and walking in the nearby South Downs National Park.
Located in Brighton, the campus is only 30 minutes away from London, where
scholars can visit to partake in fun and cultural activities.
With the increasing popularity of the Chevening Scholarship
among international students, particularly those in Nigeria, it has become
important for intending scholars to be amply prepared to not only succeed in
their interviews but choose the best university.
To this end, Temilade will be hosting a webinar for
intending Scholars on How to Ace your Chevening Interview. Scheduled for 6PM on
Sunday, March 13 2022. She will, alongside Chevening Alumna, Gideon Olanrewaju
expose attendees to the tips and tricks required to impress at the interview
and secure the scholarship.
The inspiring story of her trajectory is one of the many to
come out of the Chevening community at the University of Sussex, thus sealing
the institution’s place as the best choice for intending scholars who are
currently deciding where to study.
