LIMURU, KENYA – In a vibrant stride toward fostering academic excellence and professional readiness, St. Paul’s University has officially launched its highly anticipated Book Club at the Limuru Main Campus.

The launch event, which brought together a diverse audience of students, faculty, and administrative staff from various departments, marks a new chapter for the university's commitment to holistic student development.

More Than Just Reading: Building the Orators of Tomorrow

Spearheaded by the Department of Communication Studies, the SPU Book Club is designed to be much more than a traditional reading circle. The initiative aims to systematically cultivate a robust reading culture across the campus while simultaneously honing students’ interpersonal communication and oratory skills.

In an increasingly competitive job market, the university recognizes that technical knowledge must be paired with strong soft skills. The club will serve as an experiential hub where students learn to articulate ideas clearly, debate constructively, and command a room with confidence.

"Through initiatives like the SPU Book Club, our students gain invaluable insight on industry trends that will fundamentally set them apart from their peers."

Wisdom from the Experts: The Basics of Communication

The highlight of the launch was an insightful foundational session led by the club's patron, Mrs. Rossylyn Njenga. A seasoned academic and practitioner, Mrs. Njenga guided participants through the core principles of effective communication, emphasizing clarity, active listening, and the power of the spoken word.

The launch also saw SPU extend its impact beyond the university gates. The event hosted a delegation of local high school students who had the unique opportunity to draw from a deep well of wisdom shared by seasoned communication professionals in attendance. This mentorship angle underscores St. Paul’s University’s mission to positively influence the community and inspire the next generation of thought leaders long before they step into a university lecture hall.

What’s Next for the SPU Book Club?

Moving forward, the club plans to host regular interactive sessions, book reviews, public speaking workshops, and panel discussions featuring key industry players. By bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world practice, the Department of Communication Studies is ensuring that SPU graduates leave not just with a degree, but with the vital human skills needed to lead.

• Want to join the conversation? The SPU Book Club is open to all students across all departments. Stay tuned to the official campus notice boards and university social media channels for the schedule of upcoming bi-weekly meetups.

The afternoon of July 2, 2026, was truly inspiring for the St. Paul’s University community. Students, faculty, and distinguished guests gathered at the School of Theology for a deeply thought-provoking public lecture titled: "Decoding Creation: What Modern Scientific Data Reveals About Purpose in the Universe." Hosted in a dynamic partnership with BioCosmos Kenya and the Directorate of Research and Innovation, the event tackled one of humanity's oldest and most profound intersections: the relationship between rigorous scientific inquiry and deep Christian faith.

Insights from the Panels

The lecture featured a brilliant lineup of scholars who challenged the audience to look at the universe through both empirical and theological lenses:

• The Scientific Evidence: Dr. Lencer Ndede (Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology - MMUST) challenged attendees to look afresh at modern scientific data, highlighting how the complexities of creation point toward an underlying purpose.
• The Theological Depth: Rev. Dr. Gift Mtukwa (Africa Nazarene University) and our very own Rev. Dr. Kevin Muriithi Ndereba brought vital theological context to the conversation, reminding the community of the historic Christian foundations that have long supported and driven scientific discovery.

The event was officially opened with welcoming remarks from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Academic Affairs (DVCAA), Prof. Abraham Waithima, and the Head of Department (HOD), Rev. Dr. John Kiboi.

Launching the Next Generation of Thinkers

The lecture didn't just spark a temporary conversation; it established a lasting legacy. The event closed with the official induction of the BioCosmos Student Club at St. Paul's University. This new club provides our students with a dedicated vibrant space to keep exploring complex questions of science, faith, and intelligent design long after the lecture ended.

"We are incredibly grateful for a university community that is unafraid to sit at the intersection of rigorous science and deep faith."

A Generous Donation

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners at BioCosmos Kenya for making this event possible. In addition to anchoring the dialogue, they generously donated copies of the book, "Beyond Evolution: Unravelling Intelligent Design in Nature's Blueprint," to help our students continue their research and reading.

St. Paul's University remains committed to fostering environments where faith and intellect grow together. Stay tuned for more conversations like this in the near future!

In the recent years, the Justice system in Kenya has grappled with a backlog of court cases that have occasioned delayed in delivery of justice. This necessitated reforms that saw inclusion of alternative avenues for litigation, mediation being among them. As a result, various measures have been put in place to advance mediation as one of the alternatives including empowerment of legal practitioners with mediation skills.

In keeping with this emerging trend, the St. Paul’s University Institute of LifeLong Learning in partnership with Dispute and Conflict International began offering Certified Professional Mediator course targeting Church and religious leaders, community leaders, people interested in dispute and conflict resolution, and people interested in being accredited by the Judiciary as mediators.
