Affair & Welfare |
| Students
Association: |
The
University has a Students Association (HKMUSA) with
its own constitution of which all students are automatically
members by subscription. The main purposes of HKMUSA
are: a) To ensure the academic and social well-being
of HKMU students and others, b) To liaise with other
universities for exchange of ideas, knowledge and
experience, so as to be versed with what is happening
globally, c) To represent students in university participatory
organs, d) It is a thriving association that organizes
and participates in many activities, for example:
|
| |
• |
Expanding
sports and games facilities in order to cater for
the needs of increasing numbers of students |
| • |
Participating
in the national and regional annual East African University
games. |
| • |
Running
a small printing unit that produces certificates and
cards. By expanding this service and offering it to
other colleges it will also generate additional revenue
for HKMUSA. |

Organizing
a number of social events throughout the year including
welcome parties, farewell parties, and beach parties.

activities: |

as well as all members of university staff have complete
freedom of worship. Hence there are dedicated places
for individuals and groups to worship and pray. Our
community is officially composed of Christians and
Moslems. Christians of two denominational groups,
namely the Episcopal Conference of Tanzania (TEC)
and Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) each have
their own fellowship timetables. Moslems have a dedicated
room for their prayers according the pillars of their
system of practice.

| Medical
Services: |
HKMU's
sister institution, the Mission Mikocheni Hospital
(MMH), provides medical services to all students so
that they can carry out their studies in good health,
and in the knowledge that facilities are available
should they fall sick. MMH offers a range of inpatient
and outpatient services to HKMU students. To this
end, students are required to pay a medical aid contribution,
or take out medical insurance cover that is accepted
by the service provider (MMH). |
