Zetech University Alumni Association successfully hosted the Alumni Hike & Vibe at Karura Forest on Saturday, 20th September 2025, drawing alumni from various cohorts for a day of reconnection and reflection. The 8.2 kilometer nature hike, complemented by team-building activities and a relaxed picnic, was an ideal platform for alumni to interact in an informal setting while strengthening their bond with the University and among themselves.
“When i saw the invitation from Zetech University, I was genuinely excited and signed up without hesitation. Hiking under the canopy at Karura, sharing stories with fellow alumni i hadn’t seen in years, and feeling the energy in the vibe session afterwards was truly powerful. It reminded me of my days on campus, and that’s why I’m proud to be a Zetech University alumnus, always motivated to give back to my alma mater.” — Samuel Ng’ang’a, Class of 2022.
His reflection underscores the value of alumni-centered events in rekindling a sense of belonging and encouraging lifelong affiliation with the University.
Beyond leisure, alumni hikes and reunions play a vital role in institutional development and community building. They foster a culture of wellness, encourage networking across diverse professional fields, and enhance alumni pride and loyalty to their alma mater. Furthermore, such activities provide a foundation for long-term partnerships, mentorship initiatives, and philanthropic support where alumni walks and projects are tied to University development.
“Such events demonstrate the power of bringing alumni together in spaces where they can reconnect, share experiences, and strengthen their ties to the University. Alumni are an integral part of our community, and through such initiatives, we aim to nurture lifelong bonds while creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and growth,” Joyce Ngari, Alumni Relations Coordinator at Zetech University.
Zetech University Alumni Association remains committed to providing such platforms that celebrate alumni, foster meaningful connections, and drive sustained engagement towards the advancement of the University.
