- ItemChronology of Genesis - Mission Theology in Dutch(Tangaza University College, 2014) Jong, Albert DeHet academisch jaar 2006-2007 was weer een hectische en drukke periode. Naast de gebruikelijke colleges werden er allerlei academische, culturele en sportieve activiteiten georganiseerd die de volledige aandacht van ieder opeisten. Als decaan (Deputy principal Academic) - een functie die ik dit jaar voor het laatst bekleed heb na twee periodes van diie jaar vervuld te hebben - zat ik tot over de oren in het bestuurlijke en administratieve werk. Een van de projecten die tot een goed einde gebracht zijn is de bouw van een hostel voor studentes. Deze woonden in de meest afschuwelijke omstand igheden,veelal hutten en kotjes. Daar is nu gelukkig een eind aangekomen. Er is een prachtig, ruim en goed geoutilleerd gebouw van drie verdiepingen tot stand gekomen dat huisvesting biedt aan 84 studentes.

- ItemA Short History of Tangaza University College(Tangaza University College, 2014) Jong, Albert DeIn 1985, in agreement with all the member congregations, The consolata Fathers undertook responsibility for building the facility on a site owned by them on Langata South Road. Simultaneousry, a committee drawn from the various member congregations began planning the curriculum. Teaching began on 25th August 1986, before the building programme was finished, with twenty students enrolling for the first year theology. These students were drawn from seven countries and comprised the following: consolata Fathers (8), Holy Ghost Fathers (6), salesians of Don Bosco (6). The studies commenced in two specially prepared rooms. One of these rooms was used as a classroom while the other served as an office for administrative purposes as well as the beginnings of the library organization and temporary library for the students. Despite the very real constraints of space and the disturbance from the noise of the on-going construction, the study year was successfully completed in May 19g7 in a spirit ofgreat cooperation and patience on behalfofall, teachers and students alike. On 30'" October 1987, in the presence of the Apostolic Pro-Nuncio, His Excellency Archbishop Clemente Faccani, the College was formally inaugurated by his Eminence Maurice Cardinal Otunga, Archbishop of Nairobi, who blessed the facility prior to presiding at a Thanksgiving Mass. By 1" september 1987, with construction of the physical plant by and large completed, and all the necessary procedural requirements and governing structures established, the second year began on a firmer foundation and with a clearer vision. Moreover, in addition to the students from the memoer congregations, the College was pleased to welcome four Rosminians, one Capuchin and two semrnarrans from the Meru diocese, bringing the total enrolment to 58, 24 in the second year and 34 in the first. From the beginning, the college was intended to be a non-residential centre. Therefore memoer congregations constructed residential halls, mostly in the vicinity of the College in Langata and Karen. However, later on also residential halls were situated further away from the College in other parts of Nairobi.
