During the 2021/2022 Academic year, students in various disciplines displayed exemplary prowess at various competitions. Most remarkable were performances during Kenya Universities Sports Federation games held in December 2021, the Rugby Nationwide League and SOKU Tournament held during the Cultural Week in April 2022. To motivate the athletes as well as reflect on the year, The Vice Chancellor’s Office organized an Awards Dinner for various Sports personalities on Thursday, 19th May 2022.
Representing the Vice Chancellor, the Ag. Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic & Student Affairs) Prof. Stanley Mutsotso lauded the athletes, challenging them to explore available technology to better their talents.
“Am proud to be associated with the champions. In whatever you are pursuing, you must always aim to be the best. Get proper training from online coaches and professional athletes to complement what you are learning from the available trainers,” he said.
In his counsel, the DVC advised the athletes put more effort in their studies.“You will be celebrated more if you don’t sacrifice your academics,” he added.
