 The new year’s resolution of the leadership of the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment is for every staff member of the Faculty to live its vision. On Monday, 25 January 2010, all academic and support staff will join in a two-day-long workshop, called Pamoja (togetherness), to give effect to the Faculty’s vision of being a leading faculty at the cutting edge of innovation that provides relevant quality-driven professional career education of an international standard.
"The workshop, which will be held at the Colosseum Hotel in the city, is more than a mere gathering of staff to get to know one another better,” says Prof Fred Otieno, Executive Dean of the Faculty. “The aim is to get every staff member to have the same goal and to improve the staff morale in general,” he adds.
He says the workshop will specifically focus on ensuring that staff members acquaint themselves with the Faculty’s mission and vision and on identifying areas that need improvement. It will also focus on finding ways of improving teamwork.
The roles and responsibilities of the leadership of the Faculty, including that of heads of department, will also be addressed to prevent the Faculty’s seven departments from working in silos.
The workshop will be facilitated by Laetoli consultants who will provide the Faculty with an intervention plan on completion of the workshop. |
