Message from Dean of Students

It is my privilege and honour to serve as your Dean of Students, and provide leadership to several offices and services that have an impact on students experience at Meru University of science and Technology.

The Dean of Students Office acts as a key link between students and other areas of university life, as well as family members and the university experience. In addition, our office acts as an advocate for students who may be experiencing crisis, need assistance navigating the college experience, or seek advice regarding avenues to resolve some urgent issues. It is our goal to work closely with faculty, staff, and student leaders to enhance the quality of the university experience for students –Many students through consultations have helped this office to have a better understanding on how to assist and do more to make life more comfortable to many students.

During your time as a students in this university, I hope that you have taken the opportunity to experience as many things as possible, including joining (or forming) a student organization, participating in an intramural or club sport, getting involved in the Student Government Association, becoming a student leader, or taking advantage of the many academic, athletic, and cultural events that Meru university of science and technology had to offer. Now that you have completed   your university experience as a journey – not just a destination that has results in a certificate, diploma or a degree, but you have also explored and found your passions academically, socially, and recreationally, and left your legacy behind after having walked across the hills, valleys, streams of academic fields while overcoming many challenges that comes with higher education institutions in various stages.

I believe you have more in-depth information about the programs and services offered by Meru University of science and technology. I am so proud to have been with you as a member of Meru University and look forward to have you as a member of Alumni of Meru University of Science and Technology.

I now encourage you to face the world not as a student the way you started in this university but as Kenya citizens, full of knowledge and relevant skill that are of great importance in joining other Kenyans to build this great nation, Kenya.
