The Gate Pass Poem by Patrick Akhudu

The Gate Pass

Beckoning from the vast serenity
Of endless fresh greenery
And soul soothing scenery
Promising opportunity beyond vicinity
Is the futuristic Alupe University
The mother of modern diversity

Welcome, and claim your class!
Merit is your gate-pass
Take a seat at our table
Belong to the beloved stable
Serve yourself generous portions
Of knowledge, skills and notions

Home of creativity and innovations,
Alupe shall advance your foundations:
Economic, social, cultural and scientific ideas
That promote the search for panaceas,
Transmitting and preserving them for posterity.
All for industrial and technical prosperity.

At Alupe, standards are high; why?
The quality facilities and services:
Ultramodern laboratories and lavatories,
State-of-the-art Resource Centre (free to enter)
Consultancy, mentorships and scholarships.
They shape skills, careers and life's other spheres

Alupe offers the expanded opportunities
With like-minded learning communities
There are accepted credit transfers
And course-referals as anyone prefers
Our intercollegiate dealings are smart;
Dynamic collaborations set us apart!

Alupe University is young, we agree
Yet its certificate, Diploma and Degree
Is credible and valued in all nations,
For it exceeds all expectations!

Our graduates are top-notch:
Our teachers - tick!
Our economists - balanced
Our scientists - proven
Our engineers - set

Claim your class and feel at home
You belong to this academic kingdom
Here your welfare is guaranteed
Enjoy the warmth of comradeship indeed

Join the openly respectful team;
Your trusted support beam.
Merit is your gate-pass, basically.
Learn and grow holistically
Within the university community.
Welcome to Alupe University!
