The Eldoret National Polytechnic Chief Principal Charles Koech on Tuesday officiated the launch of the Student Council and the Security Offices at the satellite campus in Eldoret town.
The two offices seeks to streamline operations and enhance collaboration between students and trainers.
Speaking at the event, Koech said the initiative reflects the commitment to excellence at the Satellite Campus, giving credit for its impressive academic performance.
He also commended the Town Campus department, which is currently headed by the Co-ordinator Solomon Kili, for its outstanding work that has contributed to the academic success and good reputation.
“We are aware of what you are doing, we get positive feedback from the students on the services delivered,” said the Chief Principal.
Moreover, Koech applauded the Journalism Department, under the leadership of Madam Noella Sakwa, represented by James Ahela at the event for the remarkable growth of the course, where he handed over press cards to the media students.
The press cards will allow the journalism students to exercise their right to access information and perform their journalistic functions in society.
The campus has proved its potential in nurturing the journalistic profession, with the first cohorts having completed the coursework in the year 2023.
Centralising TENP functions
Meanwhile, the TENP boss emphasized the importance of enhancing and commercializing the Communication Languages and Beauty Therapy sections, decentralisation of some functions such as prayer days and championing the prior learning program (RPL) at the satellite campus to further diversify the institution’s offerings.
He also assured full support for trainers and non-teaching staff to drive growth and development within the campus.
“This is one of the campuses that we want to revamp and ensure it grows into a fully-fledged institution,” said Koech.
TENP town campus facilities
The Satellite Campus which began operations in the 2004, is equipped with state-of-the-art learning facilities, including classrooms, and a computer lab, and holds great potential for growth and exposure, being strategically located within the town centre.
Present during the event were the Deputy Principal Academics James Mwangi, Dean of Students Benjamin Maiyo, Town Campus Cordinator, Solomon Kili, Deputy Deans of Student Isaac Langat and Madam Marindinch among other trainers.
