@60

“We are driven by the desire to give back and to see the next generation of SLS mooters do even better,”

These are the words of the rising student moot coaches at Strathmore Law School. Nigel Akilimali, Ivan Kiriga, Asma Mohamed, Sagal Ahmed, Philip Thomas Mboyah and Charlotte Mwathi.

Learning from their previous coaches, this new generation of mooters is now stepping up to pass the culture forward by guiding younger teams and ensuring that upcoming mooters live up to their full potential as SLS continues to dominate the mooting stage in Kenya and beyond.

This culture of peer coaching was seen in this year’s All Kenya Moot Court Competition (AKMCC), where SLS defended its title through an integrated coaching model that brought together faculty, alumni and student coaches.

continues with The Hague experience;
Students visited the International Criminal Court, where they gained valuable insight into the State of the Treaty/Host Country Relationship (SOTY), the Court’s operations, and its key procedures. The session offered a practical perspective on international justice systems and the role of global institutions in advancing accountability and the rule of law.
Later, the students toured the historic Peace Palace, a global symbol of peace and international law, further enriching their understanding of diplomacy, conflict resolution, and international cooperation.
The Netherlands and Belgium Academic Trip continues to provide students with meaningful academic exposure, cross-cultural engagement, and immersive global learning experiences.

Students and staff from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Strathmore University have officially arrived in the Netherlands, marking the beginning of yet another enriching International Academic Trip. ✈️

As part of this exciting journey, they will take part in academic, cultural, and experiential learning activities across the Netherlands and Belgium gaining global exposure, building cross-cultural connections, and experiencing learning beyond the classroom.

At Strathmore University, creating transformative global experiences for our students is part of who we are

Stay tuned for more updates and highlights from the trip as the journey continues. ✨

What does it look like when students refuse to wait for change and instead become it?

This , we celebrate the Strathmore Environmental and Sustainability Community (SESC), named Africa’s regional winner of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) Students' Sustainability Award.

From tree planting and e-waste campaigns to training 300 youth volunteers in Mukuru Kayaba, SESC is turning ideas into impact, one community at a time.

But their work doesn’t stop there.
✅They tell stories through “Cinema in Nature”
✅ They spark dialogue through podcasts
✅ They engage in global policy spaces shaping the future of our planet

This is what happens when sustainability moves beyond theory and into people’s lives.

One of the key challenges innovators face, both globally and locally, is the hesitation to share ideas due to fear of them being taken or misused. At the same time, many grapple with an equally important question: how can I commercialize my idea to scale and create meaningful impact?

Today marked a bold step forward: a defining shift.

Strathmore University has officially launch of the Intellectual Property and Commercialization Policy. A comprehensive framework that recognises both individual and institutional intellectual property, while enabling stakeholders to effectively protect, manage and commercialise their innovations.

The launch brought together student innovators, staff, researchers, and stakeholders keen on understanding how this policy will shape and support the innovation ecosystem. “It’s a gold mine that we have been sitting on, and this is a significant moment for us as an institution,” said Dr. Vincent Ogutu, Vice Chancellor Strathmore University .

Drawing from the Parable of the Talents, Mr. Robert Yawe emphasized the need to actively utilize and grow what we have been entrusted with. “Our research is rich, and we must learn to get it out there, translate it and extend its impact,” he noted.

Dr. Dr. Tonny K. Omwansa, PhD, CEO, Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA), highlighted this as a much-needed shift, noting that universities sit at the core of driving sustainable impact through research and innovation. By nurturing disciplined thinkers and innovators, commercialization is no longer optional, it is essential in transforming ideas into enterprise and real-world impact.

As an institution grounded in the spirit of excellence, we are committed to building disciplined thinkers and innovators, with commercialization at the core of this journey. This initiative seeks to foster a strong culture of innovation and encourage the translation of ideas into market-ready solutions.

Ultimately, this policy seeks to strengthen the pipeline of innovations, unlock the value of underutilized intellectual property, and create mutually beneficial opportunities for the University and its stakeholders.
