PhD Students, Undergraduates Present Research Proposals, Dissertation

School of Graduate and Advanced Studies (SGAS) and the Department of Psychology and Human Development presented their students for proposal and dissertation presentations.

Seven Ph.D students virtually presented their proposals at SGAS in various areas of research while five students have proceeded to dissertation stage with their documents sent to examiner for marking. Two students have appeared for their final defense.

At the Department of Psychology and Human Development, 48 undergraduate students presented their research proposals during a 3-day workshop dubbed; ‘shaping careers through research and development’. Among 16 supervisors from the School of Hospitality and Human Ecology were the Director Prof. Richard Makopondo, Academic Team Leader, Prof. (Dr.) Solomon Juma Mumah, Dean of Students, Prof. Omondi Oketch and Dr. Cleophas Ondieki.

The workshop was aimed at allowing the students to obtain feedback on their proposed research, refine their research topic and also assists to further develop students' presentation skills while shaping their careers.
