Ms. Charlene Ruto, the Founder of SMACHS Foundation, visited the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Nairobi. During her visit, she toured the Department of Food Science's Pilot Plant section and the food processing hub, where we had the opportunity to showcase our innovations and products. The theme of the visit was "Youth Opportunities in Post-Harvest Management, Food Processing, Value Addition, and Agricultural Technologies."

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Jeff Wamiti Muthui, a lecturer in the Department of Food Science, Nutrition, and Technology. A specialist in Clinical and Sports Nutrition, Dr. Jeff Wamiti Muthui will be deeply missed as a friend, teacher, scientist, colleague, and mentor.
