Moi University has finally announced a date on which it will be holding its graduation ceremony for students that have completed their studies.
The Kesses-based institution has been facing financial challenges following revelations by the Auditor General that it was unable to service its over 4.5 billion debts.
It is also currently being faced with industrial action as staff demand for full implementation of the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) which has led to disruption of learning.
But even as the institution fights the challenges, it has now announced that it will be holding its 42nd graduation ceremony on December 17, 2021.
In a post shared on the university’s official Facebook page, the university said the graduation will be virtual.
The graduation will be streamed live on YouTube, Facebook, and Zoom.
Moi University was established in 1984 as the second public University in Kenya, with a population of 83 students. Since then, the University has grown to a current student population of approximately 30,000 distributed in five campuses across Kenya, namely; Annex, Coast, Eldoret Town (CHS), Eldoret, Main, and Nairobi.
At the moment, the University has 14 Schools, namely; Agriculture & Natural Resources, Arts & Social Sciences, Business & Economics, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Graduate Studies, Information Sciences, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Tourism, Hospitality & Events Management, and Science & Aerospace Studies.
Moi University also has three Directorates – Information Communication Technology, Quality Assurance, Compliance & Performance Contracting, and Resource Mobilization, Enterprise Development & Institutional Advancement (RMEDIA).
