Among other factors, the mission and core values attracted me to join Hubert Kariuki Memorial University (HKMU). The mission of liberally and broadly educating men and women to advance knowledge frontiers through research, consultancy and advisory services to the public, exposes a proactive education system that is geared towards developing individuals that will be best suited to serve their communities. Embedded in this mission , are the university core values which include:
The University calls for proficiency and respectability within the society and expects everyone involved with the institution to adhere to the highest ethical standards. These elements are imparted to stakeholders, students and staff.
The university is committed to excel in all its objectives including; programs provided, recruitment of students, staff and delivery of its services. The university is in the process of building a modern campus at Boko in Kinondoni district, Dar es salaam region.
