Globally celebrated graduates making an impact in diverse disciplines, cutting-edge innovations, and setting the pace in provision of quality education and much sought-after expertise in revolutionizing corporates, businesses,
religious bodies and leading economies; is what the future holds for St. Paul’s University (SPU) owing to the institution’s potency of attracting and collaborating with like-minded institutions across the globe.
On Monday 14 th August 2023, SPU got into a memorandum of understanding with Uganda Christian University at the main campus in Limuru. “The new formation will avail enormous opportunities for growth among faculty and students,” stated Prof. Peter Ngure, the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academics. It would catalyse collaboration in research, consultancies, lectures, conferences, faculty & student exchange programmes, and community outreach projects. It goes without saying that these opportunities will accord scholars from both institution’s networking opportunities, industry exposure, better chances for securing research grants, numerous foreign travels hence exposure to different cultures, and both institutions leveraging each other’s strengths to gain an edge over their competitors.
Prof. Ngure conveyed his gratitude to the Uganda Christian University delegation led by the Vice Chancellor-Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, for their willingness to partner and work closely with SPU in advancing knowledge in the East Africa Region. The climax for the event’s proceedings was appending of signatures to the spiral bound documents led by the respective heads of the two delegations. This was succeeded by embedding of the SPU seal on both documents by the Deputy Registrar Academics and presenting of the same to the audience.
Rev. Truphie Sumba – Deputy Vice Chancellor Finance and Administration, Dr. Ruth King’oo – Deputy Registrar Academics, Mr. Michael Mungai – Deputy Corporate Affairs Manager and Mr. Kennedy Waweru – Dean School of Communication and Computer Studies were among members of the university’s top management present to witness the signing off.
