FROM RECTOR’S DESK
Let me be motivated by our Motto which is Intelligence in Truth and
Integrity! I am
exhilarated to be one of those who are guided by this motto. St. Bonaventure
University is a unique institution in Africa where
Wholeness and Holiness are sought through education as we continue the
rich Catholic intellectual tradition through Franciscan based Pedagogy. To
attain this, we seek to be guided by the core values of academic diligence,
moral integrity, integral fraternity, Environmental responsibility and our
Availability.
Academic Diligence- Is the deliberate collective
act where we seek to discover the principles of reality through rational or
thought processes. This engagement is essential to each participant because of
its transformational characteristics. It is not our enterprise to only let you
leave this place with success on a piece of paper but success written in your
mind and your heart.
Moral integrity- To be a person is to be moral.
Education without morality is shallow and hollow. SBU is a place to be for
ethical formation through education. Here within the campus, we cherish the
ubuntu spirit of acknowledging that the being of an entity is acknowledged
through the collective framework. I am because we are. We see each other as
complimenting actualities. We cherish our togetherness because unity is power.
As we plan for the 30th year of academic dispensation, SBU promises concurrent
developments of both the physical appearance and the systemic and structural
changes. I therefore, encourage all the esteemed members to be part of this
change. As the structures and systems change progressively, be also part of this
change. As we facelift our infrastructure, be inspired to facelift your attitude
which is the essential you.
It is the dream of SBU to be an institution of quality. We therefore seek not to
compromise our standards. I urge every one of you to aim higher and to target
the best. Bonaventure thrives on performance not on charity or honorary awards.
To our students, we humbly remind you that our systems are very helpful if you
are open to diligence and they are detrimental if you survive on paternalism.
As we brace for the 2021-2022 academic year, I invite all of you to strive for
the best in our different endeavors. For students, let us be focused, flexible
and attentive. Lecturers be diligent in your conveyance of knowledge and may the
administration and all our collaborators ensure that the direction and the speed
is favorable to every one abode. We hope to have an interesting year amid the
pandemic. If the state and rate of Covid cases persist as they are recorded as
of now the middle of July, we have no option but to go virtual. Be that as it
may, it means that we need to be prepared along the online classes route.
However, if the situation improves, your physical presence is cordially welcome
to SBU premises where laughter and fraternal fellowship is cultivated. We always
value self-health and the health of the other so mask up, sanitize and above all
physical distancing.
St. Bonaventure University Welcomes you!
Rector (The Feast of St. Bonaventure- 15 July 2021).
