INtel COLLEGE SOCIAL CALENDAR
This term has been very interesting with new students around both on day and evening classes making the college very exciting by organizing fun-filled events. The recent activities included a visit to the Nairobi Children's home on 17th October 2008, where INtel students adopted a child for that day. The just ended student president campaign which saw INtel with a new President, John Ngugi Mirii and his vice Nehreen Sadique, and their new cabinet. INtel College's 5th graduation Ceremony on 2nd October at the Laico Regency where 150 graduands were conferred their awards. However it's buckling down now to books, since the term is almost coming to an end.

Thanks to all those who made this events successful by participating in different activities. Special thanks to the ushers at the graduation ceremony, you did a fabulous job and the volunteers who donated heartedly towards the Nairobi Children's home and took their time to be with the kids.
