Prof. Kiama congratulated  all admitted students for their hard work that propelled them to be admitted into the prestigious University. “This signals the assurance of continuity of the University. You have now become members of UoN family and we are happy that you have chosen to join us” reiterated Prof. Kiama.

The Vice Chancellor in his speech emphasised on the application of technology in solving problems and in communication as one of the critical skills for the future that every graduate from the University of Nairobi must acquire for work and for personal survival in this digital era. It is therefore extremely critical that every student is equipped with either a lap top or a tablet to enable them access online classes and learning resources.

The Virtual VC address to first year students  marked a very important milestone in the history of UoN. It is the first time that UoN has conducted end to end academic processes using online platforms. By putting systems in place, the University processed admissions online, registered students online and now students are going to be taught online for their Semester.

The Vice Chancellor’s freshmen address is always a very important ceremony for the University. It is part of the freshmen orientation where new students are welcomed to the University community. In order to give the time to settle down and adjust to life at the University of Nairobi, a week of orientation has been set aside. The students are introduced to various aspects that form part of their lifestyle for the period of stay at the university.
