Subject: [Wikimedia Kenya] KU Meeting and Changes
Hey Guys,
I hope we are all geared up to the launch.Dennis and I just had a succeseful meeting with Dr.Njoroge from KU.We discussed at length Chen's Visit and some changes were agreed .the deatails are as below:
TALK
Instead of Mr.Chen talk to the students,Njoroge was of the idea that since the students are still reporting to school,it would be embarrassing to have a talk with only a fistful of students.Instead,we agreed that we have audience with the VC and then visit some departments and meet the heads of departments,lecturers and a few students.The following will be the audience in the VC auditorium:
- The VC
- The 3 DVC's
- The Director University Outreach
- The Director University Outreacch
- Director School of ICT
- Director Confucius Center
- Dean school of Education
- 7 of us including Mr.Chen
The departments to be visited are:
- School of Education
- ICT department
- Department of Confucius-Chinese School.
He also suggested that we claerly spell out our vison,mission and objectives in our presentation to the VC.The presentation should touch on wikipedia and other resources available in Wikimedia like Wikiversity and Wikibooks,Public Policy Initiative and Wikipedia Ambassadors among others(a power point presentation).He opined that the VC would be glad to know why we chose KU-mainly because its the premier campus training Educationists in Kenya.He also suggestde we present a specific message to KU like in terms of our request,what KU can contribute in terms of content development,research etc.
We also explored the possibility of suggesting the KU VC be among the board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Kanya.
We concluded the meeting with a tentative agenda of the meeting as below.
Proposed Program for Chen's KU Visit.
9.30: We congregate in Dr.Njoroges office before we proceed to the VC's boardroom
