Announcement

Greetings from IBM! We cordially invite you to attend a special event exploring what’s next in computing on Thursday, April 6th 2023 at 8:00 a.m. at our Kenya research lab at the Catholic University of East Africa. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, multi-cloud computing, quantum computing, and semiconductors are shaping the future of climate and sustainability, financial services, and healthcare. This event will celebrate the 10th anniversary of IBM Research-Africa and convene leaders in science and technology for a conversation about the profound impact the next decade of advances in computing will have on our civilization.

The aim of the webinar is to sensitize our students/staff on the importance of mental health and focus on post COVID-19 recovery strategy. Drug and substance abuse, peer-pressure, poor academic performance, work-life balance, financial constraints and personal/family issues are among reported factors associated with mental health issues. The Department’s concern is that the issues may also emanate from losses during COVID-19 pandemic and there is need for recovery strategies. Creation of awareness is a key step towards recovery and the Department aims to achieve this through such webinar delivered from a medical perspective.

The webinar will be delivered from the perspective of UHS medical professionals who will provide participants with important information on infectious diseases (HIV/AIDs & STIs), gender-based violence, alcohol & drug abuse which are among the factors affecting optimal academic performance and work-life balance/selfcare, refer to the event programme.

The webinar will be hosted on Zoom platform on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 starting at 2.00pm; here is the link to join:
