EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Extra-curricular activities provide opportunities for students to continue to develop outside the Lecture hall. A variety of organizations and clubs are found at the University of Nairobi. These outlets are highlighted in this section. Students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities while at the University. One such outlet is participation in professional associations and clubs. These associations not only address the professional and personal welfare interests of students, but they also provide opportunities for performing community service and personal development. The University has various students’ bodies, which represent students’ interests. Through the various representatives, students access all decision-making levels from the halls, the Senate, and all the way to Council. The University of Nairobi is committed to seeing that student organizations are fiscally able to meet their desired goals and aims. Student Organizations should liaise with Deans of Faculties and Directors of Institutes for further guidance.

REGISTRATION OF STUDENTS ORGANIZATIONS

The registration and support of student organizations and services are provided by the Office of the Dean of Students. Students may form associations and clubs, but they should check to see if there is already an existing organisation that meets their needs. Student organizations are advised to have their calendar of events/activities coordinated by the office of the Assistant Deans of Students on their respective Campus. Through these organizations students have been able to participate in community activities, professionally related events, Organise fashion shows, Miss / Mr university shows, exchange visits with students in other countries, attend international conferences and meetings and generally develop their social, and other skills.
