Attention: Kenyan students

david_rawlings — 2023-02-28 08:27:31 UTC

To provide a warm welcome to our Kenyan students who have recently joined us this trimester, I am excited to let you know about the upcoming Welcome BBQ Lunch. This will be a great opportunity for them to socialize, connect with other students, meet with SAIBT Alumni, and interact with representatives from the local community over delicious BBQ food.

We understand that moving to a new country and adapting to a new academic environment can be overwhelming for students. Therefore, we want to encourage our Kenyan students to attend, so they can establish connections with their peers and former students.

The event will be held on Monday, 6th March, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM at Basil Hetzel Plaza. Students have been invited and informed that if they have scheduled classes during this time, to ask to be excused.
