Thousands sample UoN courses during open day
Prospective students visit the different stands to enquire about programmes
The two-day event that was held on 13th and 14th April 2012, at the Great Court, Main Campus, provided an opportunity for the University to share information with its stakeholders on its programmes and services.
The well attended event was officially opened by Mrs. Stella Kilonzo, Chief Executive Officer, CMA and attended by the Chancellor, Dr. Joseph Wanjui, Chairman, University Council, Mr. John Simba and Deputy Vice Chancellors, Principals and other top managers. In her remarks, Ms Kilonzo rooted for greater collaboration between the University and CMA especially in research and other areas that are pertinent to the two organizations.

The Chancellor on his part challenged the University Community to improve on the good results recorded in performance contracting and the recent web ranking in which UoN emerged the best overall nationally with an excellent score in the former and posted improved performance regionally and globally in the latter. He said that “the University will not relent in its endeavor to be a think-tank of what should be done.”
The Vice-Chancellor in a speech read on his behalf by Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic Affairs, acknowledged the hard work by students and staff and emphasized that UoN should build a firm foundation to cope with the competition. Echoing the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor emphasized that UoN will set standards, and be a point of reference not only in the region but to the international community as well.”
The academic units received many visitors who inquired about programmes on offer at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In addition, student organizations among them AIESEC, WOSWA and SONU had an opportunity to showcase their activities to the visitors. The Open Day also attracted various corporate entities among them KASNEB, Barclays Bank, Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and Techno Brain Limited, who were able to market their products and services.
At the end of the Open Day, the Chairman of the Exhibitions Committee, Dr. Fred Otieno, announced the Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology the best stand, followed by the School of Engineering and while Centre for International Programmes and Linkages took position three.
Over the years, UoN has remained steady on the journey towards academic excellence and is working towards setting new standard in the country.
