Abstract
Dear members of the Tangaza family,
I write this on the eve of Tangaza’s
mid-term break. I hope that most of you will
not be overwhelmed with papers and projects
during these days but will have some
time
to relax and reflect. Nevertheless, work
on
the transition to university status will
continue.
Recently we hired Mr. Dancan Irungu
of Vision Strategy Africa to help us complete
a new Strategic Plan for Tangaza. Different
units have been working on their part of the
plan for a long time, but the situation has
changed with the decision to apply for a university
charter,
and we realized we need help
to
finish the job.
A strategic plan is crucial not only because
the Commission for University Education
requires it of universities, but for many
other reasons as well. Potential donors want
to know our intentions. Development decisions
need to be made in light of our overall
strategy.
We
can’t
reach our destination if we
don’t
know where we want to go.
So during the next weeks Mr. Dancan
Irungu will be consulting as many Tangaza
stakeholders as possible – Trustees, members
of the Governing Council, formators,
staff,
lecturers, students and alumni – to
get your views on the future of Tangaza.
We hope that you will share and participate freely and actively so that we can have a
Strategic Plan that we all “own”.
Finally, remember that Tangaza Day,
March 25, is only a few weeks away. His
Eminence John Cardinal Njue has agreed to
be the presider and homilist at the Mass. We
hope it will be an important moment to celebrate
our progress so far towards becoming
a
university,
and an opportunity to recommit
ourselves
to the tasks ahead.
