International Connections in Kenya
Cultural Immersion programs are instrumental in achieving UON and Faculty goals of internationalising the curriculum and building global citizenship in our students.
Dr Patricia Johnson and Mrs Sher Campbell led an inter-school undergraduate cultural immersion program to Kenya.
The program involved lectures and experiential learning in Kenyan culture, business and government institutions. A highlight of the trip was engagement with student peers at Moi University in Eldoret. The UON's flag flew over the Rift Valley at a function the program held with academics and student buddies from Mai University at lten.
During the trip the touring group were hosted by The Australian High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya. Attending the event were senior public officials from the Public Service Commission (Kenya) and officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and trade.
