Dean of Students Office

The establishment of the Dean of Students office took place at the same time when JKUAT was established in 1981 as a middle level college. Later in 1989 it became a constituent college of Kenyatta University and finally attained its full-fledged University status in 1994 through an Act of Parliament. The Dean of Students office has transformed itself over the years alongside the universities transformation that has largely been influenced by the JKUAT Act, vision, mission and the recent formulation of JKUAT strategic plan 2004-2014. It is important to note that this transformation has taken place under the backdrop of the challenges of increased student enrollment from an initial approximately 500 students to over 12,000 today. Besides this, the establishment and infrastructure has not transformed itself in tandem. The Students welfare department plays a vital role in the sustenance of the University dealing as it does with the major stakeholders and our customers, the students. The department therefore has a major responsibility to ensure the stability of the Institution through delivery of the necessary welfare services to students, hence the welfare is also a core business of the University
