Abstract
The Second semester is off to a good beginning and already we have been back in classes for a month. How quickly time is passing! This semester finds the College with the Principal and Deputy Principal Academics one and the same per­son due to the departure of Rev. Tim R.ond for health reasons (prior to conclusion of his contract). Given the distribution among ·senior management and the Institutes and School of Theology of a variety of responsibilities in the docket of the P/DPA, the semester is moving along smoothly. On December 18, 2008 we end­ed the year with the first graduation from Tangaza College of fourteen stu­dents who participated in the DePaul programme, School for New Learning.The President of DePaul University was present for the commencement as well as a number of administrators and staff along with the Administration of Tangaza College. We look forward to an on-going partnership with DePaul. As the new year, 2009, got under­ way we held our first solo School of Theology Graduation with one hun­dred and one students completing their course of studies at Tangaza Col­lege. Our Guest of Honor for the oc­casion was Fr. John Maviiri, Rector of CUEA. Unfortunately, Fr. Ambrose Mutinda, our Dean of Theology was taken ill and has been out of the College thus far, second semester. As of this writing he is hospitalized, as has been so, for some weeks but, we are encouraged by his progress slow though it has been.We continue to pray for him that in good time he will regain his health. Currently we have 1,206 students at Tangaza College. We welcomed 53 students who are new to the College this second semester. You are each most welcome! Next week February 16th to 20th is already our Mid-Term Break it is my hope and prayer that you can each catch your breath a bit while tackling term papers, Long Essays and in some cases make up classes. May your week strike a good balance of some relaxation and that of catching up a bit on school related projects.
