Tangaza University (TU), the Kenya-based institution of higher learning that is jointly owned by some 22 Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (ICLSAL) – among them the Mill Hill Missionaries- , has become a fully fledged university, after Kenya’s President, William Ruto, granted it the Charter on Thursday, May 2.
Established in 1986 under the name, Theological Centre of Religious, TU had the original aim to form members of ICLSAL for ministry in the Church and society in Africa. Servant of God Maurice Michael Cardinal Otunga, then Archbishop of Nairobi, blessed and formally inaugurated TU on 30 October 1987.
Since 1992, when the Nairobi-based Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) was granted the Charter in Kenya, the administratively autonomous TU became one of CUEA’s Constituent Colleges, particularly for academic-related matters.
With faculty and students from well over 40 nationalities and more than 100 ICLSAL, the Karen-based TUC is a culturally diverse institution of higher learning that has “Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts, Transforming Lives” as its educational philosophy.
