EDITOR-IN CHIEF
Welcome to the first ever edition of a digital Alumni Magazine. This year, we have decided to do things a bit differently by presenting to you a publication that is as interactive as possible to make your reader experience more inclusive and fun.
In this issue, you will not only read about events, but you will also interact with slideshows and videos from different activities.

One of our highlights this year was the Techwomen conference held in February 2017 at USIU-Africa. As you read the story, you will encounter a clip that gives you more insights on what transpired on that day.
Mr. Chintan Thacker, Managing Director and CEO of Vivek Group, gives us an industry perspective on the need to rethink sales channels through his article on page 8.
The Young Alumni Network -an interest group of the Alumni Association- held their first campus event which aimed at talking to recent graduates about the expectations that they have when they are leaving school versus what actually happens in the job industry. Read about that on page 14.
Safaricom CEO, Mr. Bob Collymore and the Vice Chancellor Prof. Paul Zeleza were also invited to join the Alumni Association as honorary members during an inaugural Chancellor's public lecture held on campus. Read about that on page 7.
