We continue to witness encouraging progress in the construction of our University Chapel, a significant project that reflects the institution’s commitment to integrating Christian faith with academic excellence and holistic development.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Kiplangat and Deputy Vice Chancellor Rev.Dr. Paul Ekal Lokol assessed the progress of the construction and was pleased with the progress made so far.
Once completed, the Chapel will accommodate over 2,000 capacity providing a spacious and conducive environment for worship, prayer, fellowship, teaching, and spiritual reflection. The facility will serve as an important centre for the University community, bringing together students, staff, faculty, and other members of the University family in worship and fellowship.
As a Christian University, We recognize that education goes beyond academic and professional preparation. Spiritual formation is an integral part of developing well-rounded individuals who are equipped to make a positive impact in society. The Chapel will therefore provide an important platform through which the spiritual nourishment of the University community can be nurtured.
The progress of the Chapel construction is therefore a source of thanksgiving and encouragement.
Every stage brings the University closer to realizing a facility that will serve generations of students and contribute to the fulfilment of our mission of developing Christ-centred leaders through quality university education that integrates Christian faith with scholarship, research, and innovation for societal impact.
We thank God for the progress made so far and appreciate all those who continue to support us in prayers towards the realization of this important project.
We look forward with anticipation to the completion and dedication of the Chapel as a place where faith will continue to be nurtured, lives transformed, and God's purpose advanced.

23/09/2026

Kenya Highlands University has taken another important step towards strengthening digital learning, innovation and community engagement following a successful Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) public participation forum held at the University grounds today, Wednesday, 23rd September 2026.
The forum brought together University Management Led by our Vice Chancellor Prof. Joseph Kiplangat, representatives of the local community, Alumni, Business and Corporate institutions, students and other stakeholders to engage on the proposed development of new educational facilities at Kenya Highlands University.
The proposed development is being supported through a partnership between the M-PESA Foundation and Kenya Highlands University and includes the construction of a Digital ICT Hub Learning Centre, together with associated electrical, mechanical and other supporting infrastructure.
The proposed centre is expected to enhance the University's capacity to provide modern learning opportunities and prepare students for an increasingly digital world. It is envisioned as a modern facility equipped with state-of-the-art digital learning infrastructure, creating an enabling environment for teaching, research, innovation and skills development. It is expected to support emerging areas of technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and other digital disciplines.
The facility will benefit not only students and staff but also the wider community by creating opportunities for digital skills development, knowledge sharing, innovation and collaboration with businesses and corporate institutions.
The engagement at KHU provided a valuable platform for a one-on-one conversation between the University and its stakeholders, allowing participants to better understand the project and contribute their views and perspectives on the proposed development.
Addressing participants during the forum, the Vice Chancellor Prof. Joseph Kiplangat reaffirmed the University's commitment to transformation and to ensuring that students have access to the facilities and infrastructure required to support their academic experience.
He noted that the University is undergoing a transformation process aimed at ensuring that key facilities needed by students are made available, while positioning the University to respond effectively to the changing demands of higher education and the digital space.
The Vice Chancellor emphasized that the proposed Digital ICT Hub Learning Centre will be an important addition to the University's infrastructure and will strengthen opportunities for students and community to learn, innovate and develop skills in emerging technologies.
Prof. Kiplangat also expressed his appreciation to Prof. Eng. John Mosonik for his support and contribution towards ensuring that the Digital Learning Centre will be constructed at Kenya Highlands University.
He acknowledged the role played by Prof. Mosonik in supporting the realization of the project, describing the initiative as an important investment in the University's future and in the development of digital learning opportunities for students and the surrounding community.
The public participation exercise forms part of the formal EIA process for the proposed development. Under the applicable environmental assessment framework, new projects falling under the relevant categories are required to undergo an environmental assessment process and obtain the necessary approvals.
We appreciate Kings-Link Ventures Kenya Ltd the environmental consultancy firm for undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment.
For Kenya Highlands University, the project is more than the construction of a new facility. It is part of a broader commitment to creating an enabling learning environment, embracing technological advancement and preparing students and the community to participate meaningfully in the digital economy.

22/09/2026

We were honoured to host the fourth session of our training on the Integration of Faith, Life and Learning, bringing together our Deans and faculty for another enriching opportunity to reflect on the relationship between faith, academic disciplines, professional life, and learning.
The session was facilitated by Prof. Kevin Mannoia from United States of America, who guided the faculty through a deeper exploration of what it means to integrate Christian faith into our disciplines and everyday work. This training followed a series of previous sessions that have challenged us to think critically and intentionally about the place of faith in our academic and professional lives and especially for us as Kenya Highlands University.
This sessions and integration help us to examine how our Christian convictions shape the way we teach, conduct research, lead, make decisions, and engage with our respective areas of expertise.
In this fourth session, Prof. Mannoia challenged the faculty to see how our faith influences our disciplines. This perspective encourages us to look beyond the ways in which faith shapes our disciplines and to consider how our engagement with knowledge, scholarship, research, and professional practice can deepen our understanding of faith.
Prof. Mannoia challenged the faculty to recognise that we cannot profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and then separate that confession from the way we practise our respective disciplines. Our faith should have a meaningful influence on how we understand knowledge, how we teach our students, how we conduct research, and how we contribute to society. At the same time, our disciplines expose us to questions, discoveries, human experiences, and the complexities of the world, all of which can invite us into deeper reflection about our faith and our calling.
The conversation therefore goes beyond simply adding faith-based content to academic subjects. It is about developing an intentional way of thinking and living in which faith, knowledge, vocation, and service are connected. It challenges us as faculty to ask how our work reflects our values and how our professional calling can become an expression of our commitment to Christ and to the service of others.
The session reminded us that the integration of faith, life, and learning is a continuous journey; one that requires us to examine not only what we teach and believe, but also how our disciplines shape the way we understand and live out our faith.
Prof. Mannoia challenged the faculty to reflect not only on how our faith influences our respective discipline, but also on how our discipline influences our faith. This perspective encourages us to look beyond the ways in which faith shapes our academic disciplines and to consider how our engagement can deepen our understanding of faith and strengthen our Christian calling.
We sincerely appreciate Prof. Kevin Mannoia for taking our Deans through this important journey of integration. We look forward to deepening the conversation and discovering new ways of bringing faith, learning, and life together in meaningful ways.

Kenya Highlands University continues to strengthen its commitment to quality academic support services through professional engagement and collaboration. Our University Librarian, Ms. Jane Langat, joined fellow university librarians and heads of university libraries from across Kenya for a two-day Kenya University Libraries Committee (KULC) Consultative Workshop held at Kabarak University from 16th to 17th September 2026.
The workshop brought together university library leaders to discuss emerging issues affecting university libraries and explore strategies for strengthening professional practice and service delivery within Kenya’s higher education sector. The discussions provided an opportunity for participants to share experiences, exchange ideas, and reflect on the changing role of university libraries in supporting teaching, learning, research, and knowledge sharing.
Among the key areas discussed were the revitalization of KULC, the KULC Constitution, CBC preparedness in university libraries, and issues affecting university librarians. Participants also considered ways of enhancing collaboration and ensuring that university libraries remain responsive to the changing needs of learners, researchers, and academic communities.
A significant highlight of the workshop was the discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in university libraries. Participants explored an AI Policy Template, emerging best practices, and the need for appropriate policies to guide the responsible adoption and use of AI. The discussions underscored the importance of embracing technological innovation while ensuring that its application within university libraries is guided by responsible and professional practices.
KHU’s participation in the consultative workshop reflects the University’s commitment to continuous professional development, collaboration, innovation, and excellence in library services. Through such engagements, the University continues to provide opportunities for staff to network, share knowledge, and keep abreast of emerging trends in higher education.
The knowledge and insights gained from the workshop will contribute to strengthening library services at KHU and enhancing the support provided to students, faculty, and researchers in advancing teaching, learning, research, and knowledge sharing.

17/09/2026

Kenya Highlands University reaffirms its commitment to strengthening partnerships with schools and the community as part of our efforts to nurture holistic learners and contribute to the advancement of education in the society.
The commitment was underscored this afternoon when the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Kiplangat, accompanied by the University team, paid a courtesy visit to Mr. Richard Mibei, Principal of Kericho High School.
The engagement provided an opportunity for the two institutions to discuss areas of mutual collaboration. Prof. Kiplangat appreciated Kericho High School for its continued partnership with KHU and highlighted the value of collaborations that create meaningful opportunities and benefits for both institutions.
Kenya Highlands University is keen to deepen our engagement with schools through programmes focusing on student mentorship, career guidance, counselling, mental wellness, leadership development and educational support.
These initiatives are designed to support learners beyond academic achievement by helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values and confidence needed to navigate their educational and career journeys.
As a Christian university committed to “Integrating Faith, Life and Learning,” KHU recognises the importance of working closely with schools and communities to nurture responsible, well-rounded and purpose-driven students.
The Vice Chancellor also invited Kericho High School to participate in an environmental impact assessment scheduled for next week at Kenya Highlands University, ahead of the planned development of an ICT Centre.
The proposed centre is expected to provide opportunities for enhanced ICT learning, innovation and technological exposure within the region.
Mr. Mibei welcomed the initiative, noting that the project comes at an opportune time, particularly in light of the changing demands of education under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
He expressed interest in opportunities that would enhance ICT learning and exposure among CBC learners, particularly Grade 10 students, enabling them to develop relevant competencies for a technology-driven future.
By working together, universities and schools can create platforms for mentorship, knowledge sharing, career awareness, technological exposure and personal development, giving students opportunities to discover their potential and prepare for the future.
The engagement between Kenya Highlands University and Schools therefore marks another step towards building a stronger and more collaborative education community.

Prof. Kiplangat also appreciated Kipsigis Girls High School for its continued collaboration and support to the University, noting that strong partnerships with schools are essential in creating opportunities for students and strengthening the education ecosystem.
A key highlight of the discussion was the upcoming environmental assessment for the KHU ICT Centre of Excellence, scheduled for Wednesday next week.
Prof. Kiplangat welcomed the school to be part of the process and shared the University's vision for the Centre as an important investment in technology, digital skills, innovation, and community development.
The Principal expressed appreciation for the University's initiative to establish the ICT Centre of Excellence with partners, noting that the project would be of great benefit to students and the surrounding community.
