Egerton University received a pioneer student of Egerton Agricultural college before being chartered. Led by Vice Chancellor Prof Isaac Kibwage, the management met the Alumnae who was accompanied by her son.
The premier agricultural institution in Kenya, originating from the 1939 Egerton Farm School. It evolved into an Agricultural College in 1955 and was chartered as a public university in 1987, with the Faculty of Agriculture being a core pillar focusing on training and research in crop and animal production.
Egerton University Welcomed her Alumnae Jane Leete , after 71 Years.
The alumnae was elated and thanked the University Management for keeping in touch with the alumni.
"This is great and I'm grateful for you taking your time and remembering this as your alma mater. The commitment you had during your time here, milking the cows, and general animal husbandry. The current generation may not be in a state to do it the way you did," said Prof. Kibwage flanked by Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration Finance and Planning Prof George Muthaa.
The Egerton University Alumni Association Chair Dr Richard Rop was joined by Secretary General Dr Wamukuru Kuria, Treasurer Anne Kenya as they gave the Alumnae some souvenir items.
A tree was planted by our Alumnae to mark this nostalgic moment, making Egerton University an academic pilgrimage.
