Rift Valley University Senate 2023/24 First Session Meeting that resumed on Oct. 3, 2023, ended on the same day in the evening at 7 PM.
This year Senator’s meeting was assisted by the advance in communication technology so as to save time and resources. Accordingly, Senators who were located at Head Office, Addis Ababa & Shegar Cities were made to physically attend while those at a distance were arranged to take part through technology-assisted online/teleconferencing.
The meeting started with the opening speech made by Dr. Abebe Gemechu, RVU President. He rationalized calling the Senator’s meeting based on RVU Legislation and made an inspirational speech to motivate the Senators to actively take part in materializing RVU’s Vision and Mission.
Dr. Abebe chaired the Senate meeting and gave a chance for the Vice Presidents and Directors to present their respective 2022/23 Accomplishment Report and 2023/24 Academic Year Plan.
Accordingly, the three Vice Presidents and Directors from cross-cutting Offices presented their respective Accomplishment Reports and Annual Plans, and Senators were invited to ask questions and comment on the performance report and annual plan. The questions raised by Senators were answered by the concerned organs and consensus was reached on major issues. Finally, the Senators deliberated on wide-ranging issues, completed the Annual plan, and approved it.
In his concluding remark, Dr. Abebe reminded the Senators and other concerned organs to pay attention to quality service delivery, especially on quality education as the survival of the University depends on it. The Senators vowed to implement what was planned as per the directive given and agreed to jointly enhance the image and status of RVU on the national and international scene.
