(Department of guidance and counselline, Nasarawa State university keffi, 2019-06-05) Ayuba, Haruna K.; Ayuba, Iya Haruna
This paper focuses on the principles andpractice ofuniversity culture in one of Nigeria's State-owned Universities (The Nasarawa State University, Keffi-NSUK). It viewed University culture as the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, altitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every1 aspect of how a universityfunctions, as well as more concrete issues such as the physical and emotional safety of students, the orderliness of classrooms and public spaces, or the degi'ee to which the university embraces and celebrates racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural diversity. It aigued that each university has a unique and cherished culture that is borne from the institution's history and tradition. This tradition in turn reinforces that history and works to incorporate newcomers into the culture by instilling defined cultural values. A university's culture, tradition, and values are not only important, they are vital to the wellbeing of the institution because they provide stability and continuity. Over tune, as the university matures, so does its culture.
