At MKU, the environment is just right for the nurturing of leaders. We have a Students Council. All interested students go through an electoral process which culminates in secret balloting. They all have an equal chance to be elected regardless of where they come from.
Once elected, the student leaders engage the university management on various issues of concern. We agree to disagree then we finally agree to the satisfaction of all.
We realize that diplomatic approach to issues ensures peace and harmony on campus. Such a good atmosphere has ensured that learning activities go uninterrupted. The learning materials and facilities on campus are unparalleled hence the soaring reputation of MKU as a place to be.
Our shared vision and leadership will definitely make MKU an even better institution of higher learning not only in Africa but the world. We are proud of our university’s achievements hence our clarion
