I was admitted to Egerton University at Njoro to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2016. The opportunity allowed me to study three disciplines, and I settled for Economics, Mathematics and Sociology. In the third year I dropped Mathematics and concentrated on the other two disciplines, which I had found both exciting and intriguing.

My desire to follow my passion in Natural Sciences began at a tenderage. This was exhibited in my excellent performance in the sciences andgeography, coupled with practical engagement in nature-oriented field activities, exhibitions, presentations, and studies.

There are several things that determine what makes a university capable of producing quality graduates. One is the quality of its programmes. Another is a highly qualified academic staff, as well as competent administrative, technical and support staff. A third one is the high quality andimpact of the research and extension work undertaken at the university. In all these three areas, Egerton University is well endowed.
Egerton University wish to bring to your attention that in December 2020, Prof. Theophilus Mwendwa Mutui took over as the managing director of the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS).
