The University of Kabianga has officially welcomed its 2022/23 academic year new students. The new students reported in the university since 18th July 2022 and have been admitted into the six UoK Schools and Campuses.
Welcoming the new students, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Wilson Kipng’eno welcomed them and gave them wholesome advice that will help them steer their way through university life.
He called upon the new students to focus on what brought them and in particular, to be themselves and plan where they want to be in the next four years.
He also urged the new students to desist from substance and alcohol abuse, internet abuse and joining social groups that would hinder their education and peaceful stay at the University and eventual destruction of their careers.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics and Student Affairs), Prof. Elijah Omwenga, noted that it had been a week of orientation to the new students from all sections and departments (Deans, Library, Directors and Section heads). He was positive that the students have all the information they need for a comfortable stay at the University.
While speaking, the Dean of Students commended members of staff who participated in orientating the new students adding that the commitment and dedication they displayed was an example to the students.
Over 1,500 first-year students participated in the orientation programme which started on 20th July 2022 and ending today with the VC’s interaction with the new comers.
The Office of the Dean of Students, under the leadership of Dr. Mary Wosyanju organized and delivered the orientation programme.
