Egerton University is mourning the loss of its former Chancellor, Professor Shem Oyoo Wandiga, who led the university from 2013 to 2019. A well-respected environmental chemist and experienced academic leader, Prof. Wandiga is remembered for his leadership and his dedication to improving the University’s academic and research reputation.

It is exactly 11:00 AM, and the high-level courtesy call at the Chancellor’s Chambers has just successfully concluded, paving the way for the delegation to head out to the fields for today's 7,200-seedling tree planting exercise.
