Through the University, I’ve grown to learn and love aspects of education, I’ve formed friendships that will last years and I’ve learnt from the most esteemed scholars in this side of Africa. I have also been an active participant in games, which have given me exposure and the choir which has made me discover my love of music. All this changes can be attributed to Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology, A world class university for women

My journey of excellence started at Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology and I must say, it is an amazing journey. The university staff mold the students to be the best versions that they can be. My lecturers especially have been very understanding and have gone above and beyond in ensuring that they educate the students the right way, incorporating holistic learning for the students. They have easily become my role models and I can comfortably say that I will keep on studying to be a future lecturer to change students’ lives like my lecturers have done with mine
