🧠 Celebrating Research Excellence! 🧠

Our club is proud to celebrate the achievements of individuals who continue to advance the culture of research and academic excellence.

Recently, our Club President, Emmanuel Jay Mandona, together with our former executive member, Chisanga Mwape, attended the Neurological Association of Zambia (NAZ) Conference in Lusaka, where they had the opportunity to present their research abstracts and in attendance was the founder and former President of the CBU Mentorship and Research Club, Dr .Emmanuel Chileshe Phiri.

Their participation at this national scientific meeting reflects the dedication, curiosity, and commitment to research that our club strives to cultivate. It is inspiring to see both our current and former leaders actively contributing to scientific discourse and representing the Copperbelt University community on such an important platform.

We congratulate them on this commendable achievement and thank them for continuing to inspire the next generation of student researchers. May this serve as motivation for all our members to embrace research, innovation, and lifelong learning.

Congratulations once again, and we wish you continued success in your academic and research endeavors! 👏
