    The Flash Magazine - December 2019 edition
    (University of Embu, 2020-12) University of Embu
    As we congratulate the 2020 class, it is worth noting that this is the most unique cohort since the inception of the University. The COVID-19 pandemic posed a tangible threat to the completion of their studies and subsequent graduation. However, with concerted efforts made by the University Management, academic staff and the entire University fraternity, their dream has finally come true. The Directorates of Open, Distance & e-Learning (ODeL) and ICT deserve a pat on the back for the well-coordinated e-learning exercise that ensured the success of our Graduation Ceremony. In the midst of the global crisis, the University managed to continue with its ongoing projects that saw the phased use of the new Tuition Block, acquisition of a new 46-seater bus and development of new academic programmes. All the necessary facilities have also been put up in order to curb the spread of COVID-19, in line with the Ministry of Health protocols. For the first time, the University of Embu Students Association (UESA) elections and swearing in ceremony for the new office bearers were done virtually, enabling students to participate from home. This was a remarkable milestone for the University since no leadership vacuum has been left by the outgoing comrades. Admission and orientation for first year students was also done virtually. This was a very rare experience for the freshers since they attended classes before setting foot at the University!

    The Flash Magazine - September 2018 edition
    (University of Embu, 2018-09) University of Embu
    In this edition of the Flashlight Magazine, we feature various revolutionary events that have had a tremendous impact internally and externally, which are evident enough that we live true to our philosophy of enhancing human capacity for societal development. One of the main achievements of the University is the development of major infrastructure that would enhance excellent service delivery. These include: a spacious, modern and well equipped Library and Administration Block that will accommodate staff members; and part of it will be used as lecture halls. Another major achievement is the certification to Information Security Management System based on ISO 27001:2013 and recertification to ISO 9001:2015 which validates the University’s unrelenting adherence to best practises and processes. Giving back to society is ethical for any organization. The University of Embu has taken this position seriously and through the efforts of key University personnel, establishment of an endowment fund is underway and its success will see many needy students benefit. What is your part in this as an individual? Each one of us is called upon to support this noble cause. The enthusiasm with which these developments have been received by students, staff and the community is amazing. It’s clear that the University of Embu is committed to quality and excellence at every stage of service delivery. We are all happy to serve and we actually are more than grateful to have the opportunity to do so. We are proud of our students who from this graduation day, turn to graduates with a vantage position. To our graduates, whom we confidently release to the market, we urge you to remain innovative, spread your wings, touch hearts and brighten your corners; for these are the strongholds you have been equipped with through training at the University of Embu.
