FEMALE students were reminded recently that the purpose of them being at University was to successfully complete their studies and graduate in their desired fields.
Deputy Registrar for Student Support Services, Jeptha Girinde, made the remarks during the re-branding of the logo of the UNITECH Females Students Association (FSA).
Mr Girinde said many times female students were carried away with extra-curricular activities and lost track of the purpose for being at university. He noted some students had I the past failed their programs
and were forced to withdraw from studies.
He said the University recognized and supported student groups as well as sports clubs as they contributed to the development of the whole person and students’ involvement in these groups provided opportunities for student to exercise managerial skills.
Mr Girinde assured the FSA members that his office was available to assist students in their activities, as long as they did the preparations and as long as the activity being pursued fell within the University’s aims.
He told the young women that the University was in the process of re-fitting the Female Amenities Centre with white goods.
Earlier on the 2011 President of Female Students Association provided an official brief of the new Logo and what it symbolized.
FSA president, Lyn Vure, said the new logo which was launched at the weekend represented s well articulated vibrant, young women, who have been molded by UNITECH with all necessary skills and attributes and ready to go into the society and make positive impact.

- Tumar Yamuna (V/President),
- Joycelyn Nakin (Treasurer),
- Melissa Buri (Secretary), and;
- Miriam Hamau as fundraising chairperson.
The Association also has a new Patron in Mrs. Molly Perry Geno, who is also the SRC Sports Executive Officer.
