Lonise Hailey Aso

The Fiji National University’s Open Day at Nasinu Campus brought together students from various schools, but for Lonise Hailey Aso, it was a particularly special occasion.

Originally from Vaitupu, Tuvalu, Aso’ is a Year 11 student at Dilkusha Methodist High School.

Aso’s visit was motivated by her family’s strong connection to FNU, with her father studying engineering at the College of Engineering & Technical, Vocational Education and Training (CETVET).

“I came to Fiji last year because I wanted to follow my father’s path,” Aso explained.

“Seeing the campus and the courses available was very inspiring.”

After touring the university, Aso expressed her interest in pursuing a career in accounting, a profession her family totally supports.

“My dad is a student here, and I look up to him so much,” she said.

“The facilities and programmes at FNU are amazing, and I would love to be part of them.”

Aso shared her visit to the College of Business booth also solidified her decision.
