Kabarak University recently celebrated a significant milestone with the dedication of a new van and a herd of cows, marking a step forward in its commitment to excellence and sustainability. The event, led by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Henry Kiplangat, was filled with a sense of gratitude and community spirit.
Prof. Kiplangat expressed his appreciation, viewing the new van as more than just a vehicle, but a symbol of the university's growth and dedication to providing exceptional education. It will serve various purposes, including enhancing student experiences and university operations.
Beyond Transportation:
The dedication ceremony extended to blessing a herd of cows, chosen for their vital role in the university's multifaceted approach to education and sustainability. These dedicated animals will contribute to:
- Practical Learning: Students in agriculture and related fields will gain valuable hands-on experience through direct interaction with the cows.
- Sustainable Food Production: The cows will contribute to the university's cafeteria, ensuring a fresh and local source of food for students, with a direct link between the farm and student nutrition.
- Entrepreneurial Opportunities: The university envisions a business aspect to the farm activities, using excess produce to not only meet internal needs but also create income generation and entrepreneurial opportunities, further preparing students for future success.
This initiative aligns perfectly with Kabarak University's mission of fostering well-rounded graduates by equipping them with practical skills and a deep understanding of sustainable practices. It showcases the university's dedication to continuous improvement, innovation, and creating a holistic learning environment for its students.
