We are constantly looking for ways to accelerate this growth. Please pray for us. Achievements by Administration Division a) The Division started the year by hiring a competent HR manager to support the restructuring process that was desperately needed at PAC University. With a new HR manager in place, the University successfully concluded a HR Audit which determined suitability of staff for the direction and focus the University had set for itself. Many services have been outsourced-- with a significant reduction on cost. b) A Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration and Planning) has been recruited and is hoped to join the team in May 2016, God willing. c) There has been significant strengthening of the Hospitality and Housing (H&H) department and the refurbishment of Hostels, guest houses and the compound. The H&H unit makes the university look great and is significantly making money for us. d) We established and equipped a gym & a Students’ Centre e) Part of the Old library was renovated and transformed to accommodate the huge Transformational Church Leadership (TCL) programme offices. We thank God. f) There has been increased visibility of the University through • the hoisting of signage along Valley Road and Thika Super Highway; • the updated website with links to University social media sites; • secured 6 free features with KASS and Standard newspapers; • live coverage of 2015 Graduation on KTN; • https://youtube/mcH3IPW8yW4; • Set up of marketing call centre to support followup of enquiries. Chaplaincy & Spiritual Temperature of the University Having a competent Chaplain has made a great difference. It has been possible to meaningfully encourage all workers to take their faith seriously and live out their faith in action.
