Blended Graduation Ceremony Marks Milestone for ENGAGE in Data Science Program

Kabarak University, in collaboration with the University of Nairobi and the University of California, San Francisco,, celebrated a significant milestone on August 30, 2024, with the graduation of young women who completed the ENabling Girls in AI and Growing Expertise (ENGAGE) in Data Science Program. The ceremony, held in a hybrid format combining online and physical elements, marked a major achievement for both the graduates and the program, which aims to empower girls in the rapidly expanding field of data science.

In his keynote address, Kabarak University's Vice Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat, praised the graduates for their dedication and perseverance throughout the program. He urged them to embrace the digital age, encouraging them to apply their acquired knowledge and skills to tackle real-world challenges. "Seize the opportunities presented by the digital era," Prof. Kiplangat emphasized, "and use your expertise to develop innovative solutions that will shape the future of healthcare and beyond."

Following the conferment of certificates by the regional university vice-chancellors, the graduates were commissioned for internships at various hospitals. These internships will provide them with practical experience and further opportunities to apply their data science expertise in public health. The graduation ceremony not only celebrated the accomplishments of these young women but also highlighted the commitment of Kabarak University and its partners to foster gender equality and leadership in STEM fields, paving the way for a brighter future in data science and healthcare.
