South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) conducted a comprehensive Induction Workshop for members of the University Management led by the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Eng. Douglas Shitanda and new the newly elected Student Governing Council (SGC)
The two-day workshop was designed to equip the Student Governing Council with knowledge, skills, and values necessary for effective leadership, responsible governance, and constructive engagement with the university community. It also provided a vital platform for interaction between student leaders and members of management, fostering mutual understanding and collaboration.
During the induction, SGC members were taken through a wide range of thematic sessions covering key aspects of university governance and student leadership. These included corporate governance, student–staff relations, conflict resolution, financial management and budgeting, as well as the structure and operations of the University.
Additional sessions focused on cohesion and governance, security and safety, the university procurement process, drug and substance abuse prevention, etiquette and protocol, and a detailed overview of the SEKUSA Constitution, among other critical topics.
The workshop underscored SEKU’s commitment to nurturing informed, ethical, and accountable student leadership that aligns with the University’s values and strategic objectives. By empowering student leaders through structured capacity-building initiatives, the University continues to promote a harmonious learning environment and effective student representation.
SEKU remains steadfast in strengthening governance structures and enhancing student participation in decision-making processes for the overall growth and stability of the institution.
