Alumni Mentorship Programme
The Alumni Association appreciates the need for mentoring students by sharing their reservoir of knowledge and experiences that they have accumulated in their respective industries and to create significant and lasting impact on current students.
In 2019, the association partnered with I Choose Life Africa to mentor university students. Ms Lily Rono a member of the LU Alumni Association Executive committee led a team drawn largely from Media and Public Relations industries.
This provided the students with an opportunity to stay connected, expand their network, and connect to the industry in a unique way.
