Description
“As your Chairperson, I am deeply committed to transforming the student experience at the University of Nairobi through my Big Five Agenda. I believe in a NUNSA where power truly belongs to the students, where access to academic support, mentorship, digital tools, and wellness programs is not a privilege but a right. Through strategic collaboration, spiritual and mental health empowerment, and welfare-centered innovations, we are building a legacy of leadership, compassion, and visibility for every nursing student. This is our time to rise, to innovate, and to lift one another.”
