The institution held a momentous Convocation ceremony in partnership with the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) through the Centre for Open and Distance Education (CODE) marking a significant milestone in the landscape of Kenyan higher education.
A Legacy of Global Partnership
For the second time, CHRM College through the center, acting as the recruitment center for IGNOU in Kenya, conducted the ceremony simultaneously with the global institution. This synchronized event served as a testament to the seamless integration of technology and education, proving that physical distance is no longer a barrier to academic excellence.
