The University CONGRATULATES the winning 26 students
The United Nations Academic Impact and MCN proudly present the Millennium Fellowship at Mount Kenya University. The Millennium Fellowship is a semester-long leadership development program that happens on your campus. The program convenes, challenges, and celebrates student leadership for UN goals.
We are thrilled to share that 52,000+ student leaders from 6000+ campuses across 170+ nations applied to join the Class of 2024. 280+ campuses worldwide (just 5%) in 48 countries were selected to host 4,000+ Millennium Fellows this year.
The United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) is an initiative that aligns institutions of higher education with the United Nations in supporting and contributing to the realization of United Nations goals and mandates, including the promotion and protection of human rights, access to education, sustainability and conflict resolution.
While lauding the students who won the Millennium Fellowship, we reaffirm the University’s status as the United nations Academic Impact (UNAI) SDG 10 Hub on Reduced Inequalities for a three year period ending on 31st December 2024. “ At Mount Kenya University, as the UNAI SDG 10 Hub, we believe in giving quality training to our students and allowing them to grow holistically while developing their talents, leaderships skills, partnerships engagement and community service and with reference to areas of priority that lead to reduced inequalities within our communities, nationally and internationally. ” (https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/unai-sdg-hub-10-reduced-inequalities)

In addition to poring over the Millennium Fellowship curriculum in tandem with Fellowship cohorts on their university campuses, Millennium Fellows each undertake a social impact project – either as individuals or in groups – to advance one or more of the 17 SDGs and 10 UNAI principles.
The fellowship training will entail:
- CONVENE
Convene to learn from and challenge each other. Millennium Fellows convene at least 8 times during the program.
- CHALLENGE
Develop a plan of action for your sessions together. Meet to exchange best practices. And you could think bigger: organizing a campus-wide sustainability initiative or more.
- CELEBRATE
When your Fellowship Campus meets the goals, you made for yourselves and completed the Fellowship graduation requirements, you will earn a certificate of recognition from United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network.
