“We come with words of strength for the people!
We can win this fight without a riot!
But still, if we have to, David WILL slew Goliath!” –
LMS feat. Morgan Heritage 'Saddle Up'
Damian R. Scott, commonly referred to as ScottyPedia by those students
who know him well, is currently pursuing a BA in Mass Communications at
COSTAATT, and aspires to be your next Sports Officer. The elder statesman of
our WAR slate, Damian has proven to be a remarkable resource for reliable and
credible information, to the benefit of students and lecturers alike.
Well-spoken to all and respected by many, Damian is also a former school
footballer and basketball player, and still plays both avidly to this day.
In addition to his academic prowess, his wealth of experience
affords him keen insight into problems, solutions and consequences, making his
contributions invaluable on both personal and professional levels. As Sports
Officer, Damian promises to bring back a sense of belonging amongst the
students at COSTAATT South Campus, and will use sporting activity as a means to
bring about this new dawn for the long-suffering student fraternity.
"One key part of the academic experience at
a full-fledged tertiary level institution such as COSTAATT has to do with activities outside of the
classroom. These are the activities that help to shape personalities and
positive attitudes outside of scholarly achievements. Unfortunately, these activities
are sorely lacking at COSTAATT, and it is my intention as Sports Officer to
steer the student body in a more positive direction.
"During my brief enrolment in COSTAATT, I
have seen bare lip-service being paid to sports as part of the genuine academic
experience, and I want to change this outlook. Organised sporting activities
amongst students not only has health benefits for the participants, but also is
one sure-fire method of fostering
genuine school spirit , which will definitely improve student morale. It will
give students a sense of belonging that cannot be derived from the classroom
experience alone.
"My sincere wish is that my efforts will
cause a shift in paradigm at COSTAATT, where the student experience is not
limited solely to classroom activities, but also encompasses participation and
support of as many sports as feasible." - Damian Scott
