Who I Am

Academic Affairs & Research MinisterCarnegie Mellon University Africa

My interest in academics and research did not start here. It has been part of who I am for a long time, and so has the interest of every student. I am Damilare, and my heart is in the work.

Watch who I am and why you can trust me

In this video I share how my love for academics and research began, how I help others, and why the interest of students matters so much to me. It is the story behind the work, so you can see this is who I am and that I am ready to do it. New videos are added here over time.

What I Stand For

I am running to serve as Academic Affairs and Research Minister at Carnegie Mellon University Africa. My approach comes from a researcher's habits: listen, gather evidence, and deliver.

Research Access

Make it easier for every student to find supervisors, projects and research funding.

Academic Support

Peer tutoring, shared study materials and exam preparation sessions.

Student-Faculty Dialogue

Regular feedback forums so student concerns reach decision makers early.

Publishing and Conferences

Workshops on writing papers, and support for presenting at conferences.

Industry and Career Links

Bridge classroom learning, internships and industry research partnerships.

Transparency

Public progress updates so you can see what has been delivered.
