Note from the Chair
Chair, ComSoc Kenya
Greetings ComSoc Kenya Members!
I’m happy to have this opportunity to present our first Monthly ComSoc Kenya Chapter Newsletter to share some of the exciting updates from the Chapter and ComSoc in general. We will also be highlighting the happenings in our two Student Chapters, Moi University and Kenyatta University.
We had a relatively active month of September where we had a Virtual Distinguished Lecture and put out a special Call for Volunteers.
We want to deliver value to our members and look forward to some interesting engagements once the volunteers are identified and oriented and the future is bright for the ComSoc Kenya Chapter.
Best wishes.

Virtual Distinguished Lecturer (VDL) Program
ComSoc had to postpone the Distinguished Lecturer (DL) tours this year because of COVID-19. However chapters have the incredible opportunity to connect with the DLs through a Virtual DL (VDL) program in an effort to continue to offer access to the DL’s valuable content and wisdom.
