It eventually ended with Combine being victorious and the Nihilanth's kind being hunted down to near extinction. What followed was a brutal genocidal campaign against the Nihilanth's species, as the Combine mercilessly invaded their world. The Nihilanth's species appears to be an alien race of powerful beings, almost god-like in nature, as evidenced by the characteristics of Nihilanth himself.ĭuring an unknown period of time, the Nihilanth's species came into contact with an immensely powerful interdimensional empire known as the Combine. The Nihilanth is a member of a powerful species that hailed from beyond the Xen dimension, on their own home world in their own universe, long before the Black Mesa Incident. In addition, the Nihilanth also wears metallic wristbands similar to those worn by enslaved Vortigaunts. It has unusually long arms, huge hands, and disproportionate fingers. Underneath its third arm is a surgical scar that goes down its abdomen. Like all of the other sapient Xen species, it has 3-fingered hands, multiple eyes, and a third appendage protruding from the middle of its chest. Its head is so large that it must be kept upright with a small cord/string that extends from the base of the spine to the back of the head. The creature's minuscule legs appear either to be vestigial or the remains of amputation, as the Nihilanth relies on a levitation device for movement. Having understood the dire need of value addition to the national resource base for economic development of the country, UWU offers eleven market oriented degree programs directly fitting into the theme of value addition toward knowledge economy.Physically, the Nihilanth resembles a gigantic, abnormally proportioned brownish-gray (pink in some lighting instances) fetus with a massive head atop a smaller body. UWU has innovated a course driven academic process combined with an operations driven administrative process to respond proactively to the ever changing market needs and thereby to create readily employable entrepreneurial graduates who could take leadership roles in economic development of the country. Most of the challenges which need to be met locally and nationally have global relevance. Research focused on the value addition to the national resource base is an imperative in generating new knowledge, products, services, and processes which are vital for the economic development. The net result of this strategic theme effectively produces graduates readily employable both in the state and the private sector. The programs cover resource areas of Aquatic, Export, Tea, Palm, Latex, Minerals, Tourism, Hospitality & Events Management, IT, Entrepreneurship, Management, Science and Technology. As such all our degree programs deliver knowledge and skills required by the employers in industry and commerce for value addition. It is also the only Entrepreneurial University in Sri Lanka. Our theme provides the necessary emphasis that should pervade the system within to pursue a vision clearly giving us a direction on Value Addition to the National Resource Base.
Value addition to national resource base caters for sustainable development of the nation. The new course driven structure of education facilitates interdisciplinarity, generates the knowledge base for education and practically enlightens their path.
Uva Wellassa University is the first Entrepreneurial University, providing education to the students focusing on employers’ needs and entrepreneurship.
