They had the pleasure of inaugurating the first cohort of PhD students who will be supported by the Centre to pursue their research in sustainable operations and management.  During their visit, they were hosted by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs, Prof. Julius Ogeng’o and paid courtesy call to Deans Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Business and Chairpersons of the programs’ host departments. The DVC AA expressed his delight with the partnership and the transdisciplinary nature of the research at the Centre, an approach he lauded as being appropriate in solving the current global sustainability challenges.
