The Department of Mathematics recently celebrated the retirement of two esteemed members of their statistics division, Dr Francis Njui and Mr Cyrus Ikinya. The event was a testament to the impact these two individuals have had on the department and the university as a whole, and it was a fitting tribute to their many years of service.

On February 20, 2023, the first East African Mathematical Olympiad was held online with participation from seven countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. The event was coordinated from Rwanda via Zoom and sponsored by the Global Talent Network based at Bristol University.
