The 4th Multisectoral Conference and Exhibition on Research, Science, Technology, and Innovation, held from June 9 to 12 at Lake Naivasha Resort and organized by NACOSTI, brought together key stakeholders in higher education, industry, and policymaking. Among the lead discussants was Prof. Henry Kiplangat, Vice-Chancellor of Kabarak University, the only representative from a private university in that role. His presentation focused on a critical issue, the need to transform STEM education in universities to better address real-world challenges.

Kabarak University has taken a significant step toward educational excellence with the commencement of construction on a new ultra-modern tuition block. The groundbreaking and dedication ceremony was led by the esteemed Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat, alongside the university’s senior management team, staff, and key stakeholders. This event marks a major milestone in the university's infrastructural and academic development agenda. Once completed, the new tuition block will serve as a cornerstone for delivering cutting-edge education, accommodating the growing student population, and providing a conducive, well-equipped environment for teaching, learning, and research.

Kabarak University is excited to partner with the University of Nairobi and the University of California, San Francisco, to offer a groundbreaking opportunity for final-year female STEM students. The ENGAGE Program, which aims to empower women through data science, is back with an incredible chance for young women to immerse themselves in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning.

The Kabarak University community is delighted to celebrate three of our own from the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology (SSET). We extend our warmest congratulations to Dr. Ruth Oginga, Francis Komen, and Timothy Sawe on their successful completion of the intensive Microsoft ADC/Leap Faculty Skilling Program.
