I welcome you to the September Edition of the Varsity Focus which brings to you highlights of the last three months.
September is normally a busy month at UoN with the admission of first year students (freshers) at undergraduate and graduate levels and at the same time, it is the period through which the University graduates students from the Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Architecture and Engineering, Biological and Physical Sciences and Education and External Studies. Those graduating will be at bachelors and postgraduate levels. Varsity Focus congratulates them for this major achievement.
This Edition looks at the recent activities of the University. The University’s sterling performance in public sector reforms is highlighted together with the re-launched Revised 2008-2013 Strategic Plan.
It was during the same period that the University hosted the German Chancellor, in a lively interaction with the University community. Other activities included increased ties with local and international stakeholders to boost scholarship and research activities.
This Edition also highlights the profile of the Chancellor, as one of the lead players, who have transformed the fortunes of the University in the last eight years. Also featured is the profile of the Principal, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Prof. Agnes Mwang’ombe. Her profile marks the start of featuring bios of top administrators, in subsequent editions.
We have featured the Ph.D programme on dryland management, which is set to graduate 15 students of different nationalities and a testimony from one of the graduands, Ms. Tasokwa Vida Musa Kakota from Malawi. Also featured are student activities among them WOSWA and the legal awareness campaign by students from the School of Law.
