An update from Nairobi*

From Father Michael Kirwen, director of the Maryknoll Institute for African Studies in Nairobi, Kenya:

“MIASMU hosted the end-of-semester celebration on Saturday, March 31, at Tangaza College. Students were required to hand in their final research integration papers, worth 60 percent of their final marks, on or before the closing day. Events included a faculty meeting, a students’ forum in which students and field assistants discussed various issues arising from the class lectures and field research experiences, and reports from lecturers to the student body on their various courses. The closing of the festivities was a banquet at the college canteen. “
