Fresh students joining Mount Kenya University have been advised to rethink personal branding and pursue their interests as they study.
Speaking at an orientation event for joining students, MKU Vice Chancellor Prof. Deogratius Jaganyi told the students to explore various interests even as they study.
“Set goals of what you want to achieve. Identify your priority areas, figure out the most important things in your life and this will guide your actions. Always devote time to reflect on your progress to avoid distractions and avoid things that deter you from your mission in life. Keep your goals on track, do self-evaluation of your achievements at the end of every semester against your goals,” he said.
The don also advised the freshmen to keep good company as they study, to work hard, and to be results oriented.
“You have joined MKU to pursue your career aspirations. I encourage you to be result oriented. Ensure you complete every assignment on time and be keen on quality of your work, plan your study time well, do not be rushing the last minute when examination is approaching. Always quantify your performance. In life, there is nothing like you are doing your best while there are no results.”
