Abstract:
The pioneer issue of the University
of Embu (UoEm) magazine,
ambassador of the UoEm, The Flashlight
UoEm Quarterly
The Flashlight, is dedicated to
celebrating the award of charter
to Embu University College (then a
constituent college of the University of
Nairobi). The name of the magazine, The
magazine will be the main forum for
highlighting various activities at the
University. Some of the highlights will be
on academics, research and extension,
planning and development initiatives,
corporate social responsibility, students’
affairs, and linkages.
Flashlight, is derived from the University
of Embu Coat of Arms. The Sun’s Rays in
the Coat of Arms stands for the role of the
University as a disseminator of knowledge.
The award of the charter makes UoEm a
fully-fledged public university and sets
it at par with other public universities in
Kenya. The Flashlight illuminates the
journey towards the charter award, the
achievements and current status of the
University and the future vision. The
Editorial Board is proud to be associated
with this pioneer issue of The Flashlight.
The Editorial Board welcomes constructive
contribution from all stakeholders to
make the subsequent issues better. We
wish to invite our partners from different
sections and areas to support the
magazine in terms of making it a platform
for advertising, sharing information and
research. The magazine shall be published
on a quarterly basis and made accessible
to all stakeholders through the print and
online version.
