The frequency and impact of natural and human-induced disasters has highlighted the critical need for resilient humanitarian aid operations during a crisis response. Natural disasters encompass geophysical (earthquake), hydrological (flood), meteorological (storm), climatological (drought) and biological (disease pandemics). Human-induced disasters include armed conflict, terrorism and hazardous accidents. Disaster response is characterized as knowledge-intensive, time-sensitive, of short duration, high urgency and extreme uncertainty.

Following the launch of the students voter registration drive by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in partnership with Universities and Colleges Students' Peace Association of Kenya (UCSPAK), the Dean of Students cordially invites all the students  on Campus  and staff for Voter Registration outside Taifa Hall, Main Campus from Thursday, 14 October to Tuesday 2 November 2021 from 9.00am to 4.00pm.
