The office of the Dean of Students is concerned with student affairs to help address the holistic growth, development and well-being 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 programs planning and facilitation. This in turn would enhance professional and personal well-being and nurture the right values resulting to strong social responsibility and responsible citizenship.
In this effort, the office facilitated ongoing programs where students acquired leadership skills, gained awareness of topical issues such as HIV/AIDS and received career guidance and counseling. With the continued student participation in projects innovativeness and creativity has been on the increase leading to a positive interaction with the community and the environment.
The office also addresses issues pertaining to students with special needs and disseminates up-to-date information general to the university and also specific to the office.
