Meru University of Science and Technology Alumni Association strengthens campus infrastructure and student welfare through a fully funded 900-metre walkway unveiled during the University’s 14th Graduation Ceremony.

A lasting legacy is measured not only by what we achieve, but by what we give to the generations that follow. Demonstrating this spirit of service, the Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST) Alumni Association officially handed over a newly constructed 900-metre cabro-paved student walkway valued at KSh 8.95 million during the University’s 14th Graduation Ceremony held on 23rd October 2026.

Fully funded by the Alumni Association, the walkway stretches from the University gate to the Engineering Complex, providing an improved pedestrian route for students and other members of the University community.

The project goes beyond improving campus infrastructure. Designed with student comfort and climate resilience in mind, the walkway features four specially engineered shelters fitted with comfortable seating. These provide students with spaces to rest and protection from heavy rainfall and intense sunshine.

The facility also responds to the University’s growing student population, helping improve pedestrian movement and reduce congestion along the route. By providing a dedicated walkway, the project addresses the need for safer movement between the University entrance, offices and lecture halls.

The initiative reflects the Alumni Association’s commitment to giving back to its alma mater through meaningful investments that benefit present and future generations. It also demonstrates the value of collaboration in addressing practical institutional needs through shared responsibility, technical expertise and collective action.

Beyond its physical structure, the walkway symbolizes the enduring relationship between MUST and its alumni. It represents a commitment to supporting the University’s development while creating an environment where students can learn, interact and pursue their aspirations.

The commissioning of the walkway aligns with MUST’s broader commitment to sustainable development, student welfare and collaborative innovation. It demonstrates how alumni engagement can translate goodwill into tangible improvements that strengthen institutional growth.

As students walk this route daily, they will experience a legacy built through gratitude, generosity and a shared vision for the future.

Through this KSh 8.95 million investment, MUST alumni have done more than construct a walkway; they have paved the way for generations of learners to come.
