On September 6th, 2024, CHRM College held its 27th Graduation Ceremony at St. Andrews Church Hall in Nairobi, celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2024. The event marked the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and growth for the graduates, many of whom are now ready to make their mark in the world of work.
In her speech, Eva Gaicugi, the Student Council Vice President, highlighted the profound impact of education on their journey. She reminded her fellow graduates of the broader life lessons learned during their time at CHRM College:
As we look towards the future, we must remember that our education has equipped us with more than just knowledge. It has given us the ability to think critically, to solve problems, and to approach the world with empathy and resilience. It has taught us that success is not merely about achieving goals but about the journey and the people we impact along the way,” said Gaicugi, inspiring her peers to move forward with both confidence and compassion.
The event was further enriched by a powerful speech from CHRM College Principal, CHRP Margaret Kinyanjui, who emphasized the institution’s commitment to more than just professional education. She pointed out that graduates must consider both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The theme of the graduation, “Embracing Change, Fostering Sustainable Futures,” is particularly relevant in today’s rapidly evolving world.
“At CHRM, we believe that professional education is not just about imparting knowledge and skills but about instilling a sense of purpose. The power of purpose is what drives change, and it is our goal to inspire our students to use their education to make a positive impact on the world of work,” Principal Kinyanjui said, encouraging graduates to step into their careers with a mission to create meaningful change.
The ceremony was also graced by Tom Kamaliki, a member of the Education and Training Board Committee, who acknowledged the unique challenges this graduating class faces in today’s job market.
“This year has brought its challenges, both globally and locally. The job market is shifting, and the expectations placed upon graduates are higher than ever. However, I have no doubt that the education you received at CHRM College has prepared you to meet these challenges head-on,” Kamaliki reassured the graduates.
The ceremony concluded with the graduates receiving their diplomas, a tangible symbol of their achievements. Family members, friends, and faculty celebrated their success with pride and joy. The event was not just a reflection of the graduates’ academic accomplishments, but also a testament to their perseverance, adaptability, and readiness to embrace the future. With their education from CHRM College, these graduates are well-equipped to tackle the evolving demands of the workforce and contribute meaningfully to society.
