Mount Kenya University PhD graduands.
Marie Josee Veronese
A student from Rwanda – Marie Josee Veronese – is among those set to graduate today. Her case is unique because she grew up speaking French. “My university years were a period of growth and self-discovery.
"As a French speaker studying in English, language was my biggest challenge. However, I overcame it by joining clubs, volunteering, and engaging beyond the classroom,” she says of her time at MKU.
Here are what a number of other graduands said:
Mujeeb Salaam
“My research findings contributed to using routine Biochemical, Haematological and Microbial parameters as relevant diagnostic blood biomarkers for early dementia detection and management. This is a novel finding in Uganda and East Africa.”

“Doctoral studies are never easy.
They are a demanding and gradual journey. However, at MKU, no
one goes through it alone. I encourage us to continue guiding students
toward reputable and responsive
journals and to retain our PhD graduates within the institution.”
