“The KeMU Nairobi Campus visited the Central Police station, Nairobi on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2024, to appreciate the men and women for their efforts towards ensuring the student population at the Nairobi CBD-based campus is safe.
During the procession event that started at the City based Campus and led by the Nairobi Campus Principal Dr Susan Laimaru accompanied by new students at the city-based Campus, the university gifted the policemen/women with various gifts including reflector jackets.
The event was done alongside the matriculation/orientation of the new students and was a first of its kind as the orientation usually takes place at the university premises.
The principal noted the importance of giving the students a first-hand experience in learning what they needed to do to protect themselves amid the rise in incidents of deaths involving university students.
While speaking during the event, Dr Laimaru mentioned the importance of ensuring the students not only grew academically but socially as well.
“Kenya Methodist University has realized that we have to improve on our customer care and service delivery to the students, we have realized that especially the students and especially the girls are getting murdered and getting involved with crime,” Dr Laimaru.
KeMU, the first private university to graduate medical doctors in Kenya offers PhD, Master’s, Degree, Diploma and Certificate programs in the Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences, Education, Social Sciences, Science and Technology, Business and the KeMU TVET institute with a Main campus in Meru and other campuses in Nairobi and Mombasa.
