From the Desk of the Registrar – Office of Research, Innovation, and Community Engagement (ORICE)

Welcome to the Office of Research, Innovation, and Community Engagement (ORICE) at Africa International University — a place where knowledge meets purpose, and academic inquiry is transformed into action for the common good.

In an era defined by complex challenges and rapid change, universities must serve not only as centers of learning but also as catalysts for innovation and societal transformation. ORICE stands at the forefront of this vision, committed to advancing research that addresses real-world issues, cultivating innovation that inspires new possibilities, and fostering engagement that brings lasting change to communities.

At ORICE, we believe that research is not an isolated academic pursuit, but a calling to contribute to the well-being of society through thoughtful inquiry, ethical practice, and meaningful collaboration. We actively support our scholars and students in generating knowledge that matters—knowledge that informs policy, drives innovation, and shapes a more just and sustainable future.

Through strategic partnerships with stakeholders across academia, government, industry, and civil society, we continue to expand our impact both locally and globally. Our programs and initiatives are designed to bridge the gap between the university and the community, ensuring that the fruits of academic work benefit all.

As the Registrar overseeing ORICE, I am proud to serve alongside a dedicated team that values integrity, excellence, and faith-driven scholarship. I invite you to explore our work, connect with our mission, and join us as we shape the future through research, innovation, and community transformation.

In partnership for transformation,
Prof. Beatrice Warue
