The office of the Dean of Students is concerned with student affairs to help
address the holistic growth, development and wellbeing of students in support
of the University’s vision, mission and objectives. The officers often work in
liaison with different University departments as well as with student leaders,
parents and maintain contact with outside agencies and the community to help
carry out the mandate of this office effectively and efficiently.
In 2014, the Office encouraged students’ positive involvement in internal
and external events and partnered with students in programmes planning and
facilitation, in order to enhance professional and personal well-being and nurture
the right values, strong social responsibility and responsible citizenship.
In this effort, the office facilitated ongoing progeammes that developed student
leadership skills, gave students an awareness of topical issues such as HIV/AIDS
, career guidance and counseling, often supporting student participation in
projects that encouraged innovativeness and creativity, including a positive
interaction with the community and the environment.

disseminated up-to-date information general to the university, and specific to
the office.
