The students were warmly welcomed by coordinators from the School of Pure and Applied Sciences and members of the university’s management, led by Principal Prof. Zipporah Ng’ang’a. During the welcome address, students were encouraged to seize the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge in these tracks, empowering them to address the complex challenges faced in today’s world.
