Nairobi: Years after graduating from the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications, a former student found himself in a bind over a missing clearance form, necessary for obtaining his certificate. The resolution came swiftly when he sought assistance from Marion Njoki, the Technical Operations and Administration Manager at the school. Within two days of contacting her, the issue was resolved, underscoring the importance of her role in bridging administrative gaps for students.

According to the Aga Khan University, Marion Njoki's dedication to helping students is deeply rooted in her own experiences as a student of electronics and telecommunications engineering with a broadcast option at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication. Faced with doubts and challenging coursework, she nearly switched paths to journalism but was encouraged to persevere. Her persistence led her to a successful career in Kenya's media industry before joining the university in 2016, where she played a pivotal role in developing the training facilities necessary for the accreditation of the digital journalism program.

Marion's commitment extends beyond her administrative duties; she actively mentors young women in STEM, challenging the notion that certain subjects are gender-specific. Her contributions to student support were recognized at the university's convocation this year, where she received an award for her efforts. As she prepares for accreditation by the International Coaching Federation, Marion continues to grow both professionally and personally, embodying the spirit of mentorship and support.
