The University held its inaugural Talents Day as a creativity contest where both staff and students were given a chance to demonstrate their unique skills and talents. The activity was also meant to shift students' minds from academia as they are supported to express and grow in their chosen talents. 

Following the event, the University appointed a full-time member of staff to coordinate skills and talents development among staff and students. There is also a University Talents Development Committee comprising staff, alumni, and friends of UoN, whose task is to identify, nurture and mentor the upcoming talents at the university. Some of the students that excelled and left an impression in their chosen talent was captured. Darren Hart's efforts from the Department of Civil & Construction Engineering was noted.
