Dear Calebites,
Greetings to you all in this new month of March! I hope this message meets you well and in good spirits.
It has been a remarkable journey serving you as your Alumni President, and as I reflect on how far we have come, I am filled with gratitude. Starting up the alumni network was no small feat. It was challenging, exhausting, and often required pushing through resistance. But today, we stand as a formidable body, growing in strength, unity, and impact. We have achieved a lot together, and now, it is time for someone with fresh ideas, zeal, and energy to take up the mantle and continue the work. The alumni network needs a leader who will build on the foundation we have laid and take us to even greater heights.
In that light, I am excited to announce that during the upcoming Alumni Reunion 2.0 in September, manifestos will be read, and in October, we will hold elections for new alumni executives. I encourage everyone who is passionate about our growth to step forward and contest for leadership positions. Leading the Caleb Alumni Network is a responsibility that requires dedication and sacrifice, and I am confident that among us, there are capable individuals ready to take up the challenge. Rest assured, I will always be available to support the alumni in whatever capacity I can.
HARD WORK PAYS! Let me remind you, dear Calebites, that there is no shortcut to success. Hard work pays, but it requires patience. Many people expect instant gratification once they put in the effort, but life does not always work that way. It is reap what you sow, not reap where you sow. Your diligence, perseverance, and commitment to excellence will always pay off, even if not immediately. Keep being diligent in your endeavors and trust the process. We are a generation of Calebites who are hardworking, resilient, and determined to make a difference.
BE A GOOD AMBASSADOR As you continue your journey in your various professions, businesses, and personal growth, always remember to be a proud ambassador of Caleb University. Let your words, actions, and achievements reflect positively on the institution that helped shape you. Make us proud. Make everyone proud!

AS YOU ALL KNOW; I AM A MAN OF FEW WORDS. TILL WE TALK AGAIN.
Stay strong, stay connected, and keep making us proud. I am always your brother and friend.

Dr. (Arc.) Christian Odefadehan
President, Caleb Alumni Network
