Today we marked the successful conclusion of the National Licensure Exams for aspiring nurses and midwives conducted by the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) at Kabarak University. The rigorous five-day examination, which commenced on Monday, November 11th, saw the participation of 467 students from the Kenya Registered Community Health Nurse (KRCHN) program.

Kabarak University proudly served as the host for a pivotal joint planning meeting for all health sciences training institutions affiliated with Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) for clinical training. Held on November 14th at the Hekima Auditorium, the meeting addressed key topics to enhance learning quality and develop a comprehensive master rotation plan for student placements.

Today marked a significant milestone as Kabarak University bid farewell to its Class of 2024, the 42s and 53s, in a heartfelt Finalists’ Chapel Service held at the Convocation Hall. This poignant occasion was filled with gratitude, anticipation, and inspiring messages as the final-year students gathered for one last time, creating an atmosphere brimming with excitement and nostalgia.

On November 9, 2024, sixty of our Kabarak University Model United Nations (KMUN) delegates embarked on an early morning journey to Kenyatta University for the Second Mock Debate of the 24th KMUN session. The trip began at 4:30 a.m., with a spirited stop at Safari Centre Naivasha for breakfast, energizing our team and setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Our early arrival placed us among the first to reach the Kenyatta University Main Campus, allowing our delegates to settle in and prepare for an enriching day of debate, collaboration, and learning.

A moment of sheer academic brilliance electrified the University of Ibadan (UI) as Kabarak University’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat, came face-to-face with one of Africa’s greatest intellectuals, Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka.

Prof. Kiplangat, a respected author and academic leader, found himself in the company of a literary icon whose profound impact on the world transcends generations. Their encounter was not only a moment of intellectual exchange but a historic intersection of thought, creativity, and vision.

Professor Henry Kiptiony Kiplangat, Vice-Chancellor of Kabarak University , underscored the critical importance of transformational leadership in reshaping higher education across Africa to address the continent’s distinctive challenges.
