Monday, August 18, 2025, was a historical moment for first years and their parents and guardians as they joined the institution of their choice- the University of Nairobi. Despite the cold and wet weather, over 13,000 managed to get admitted over the registration and joining period. Out of the 13,000; 9,685 are Module I while 4,000 Module II students.
The Vice Chancellor’s address to the first years is culturally an annual event where the Vice Chancellor meets the first years and addresses them on campus life.
Speaking at this year’s event, Prof. Jesang Hutchinson congratulated the first years for joining the university.
She exclaimed, ‘On behalf of the University Senate, faculty, staff, and the entire student body, I congratulate for choosing and successfully being admitted to this prestigious institution.
The address by the Vice Chancellor to new students joining the University sometimes referred to as freshmen is one of the oldest traditions practiced by many universities globally. But let us be clear: this is not just mere tradition but an opportunity for new students to be introduced formally to university life.’
