Welcome to the South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU). The University is a fully fledged University and is the successor to the South Eastern University College (SEUCO) which was a Constituent College of the University of Nairobi.
The University has undergone tremendous growth since inception in 2008. The current student population stands at around 6,000 students. We pride ourselves in having highly qualified teaching staff consisting of Professors and lecturers most of whom have a Ph. D and vast experience in both teaching and research.
As you graduate, remember that the technical skills you have gained in your training may get you an interview but soft skills will get you the job. As young graduates and professionals, you must demonstrate to the world your abilities and skills in several areas, including problem solving, conflict resolution and critical observation.
You are entering a competitive world where communications skills are valuable. You do not have to be a brilliant orator or writer; but you have to express yourself well, be it in writing a coherent memo, persuading others with a presentation or just being able to calmly explain to a team member what you need. Though competitive, the world also needs teamwork. For better performance you should be able to play well with the rest of the team. This means sometimes being a leader, other times being a follower, monitoring the progress of activities, meeting deadlines and working with others to achieve a common goal.
In your search for fulfilment in life after campus remember the adage “Your world is as big as you make it”. Make your exploits as a responsible citizen big, big enough to imbibe every good thing and opportunity that can make you what you intended to be in life.
