Rediscovering Knowledge: A Transformative Journey at Addis Ababa University
The proposed Hekima University directorate represented by Dr Jerome Manyahi, SJ; Fr Endashaw Debrewak, SJ and Dr Elias Mokua, SJ are sincerely grateful to the Staff, both teaching and non-teaching for the unforgettable welcome and hospitality they extended us Tuesday 23rd through Thursday 25th, August 2023 on visiting Addis Ababa University . The team met top Professors and Doctors for sessions with all the appointments as scheduled.
The tour was guided from one office to another by the hosts. The mission for the visit, was to learn from the best universities in the Province i.e. Eastern Africa region especially in the Science and Technology Colleges since PHU intend to mount Engineering, Computational Data Science, Education Science and Business Schools.
From the visit, PHU drew six key takeaways i.e. the Jesuits were instrumental in the establishment of Addis Abeba University (at the invitation of His Majesty Emperor Hailie Salasie, who began the university using his palace as the main campus), which has historical significance. The collaborative community atmosphere of the institution is motivating, and its faculty's outstanding intellectual calibre provides a remarkable academic level. Strong linkages with business and government boost it's reputation, as does its ranking among Africa's best institutions as a result of prolific research output. The cutting-edge technology and government commitment show its commitment to scientific innovation, with interesting faculty cooperation possibilities.
