The Dean of Students, Mr. Paul Ochieng’, launched the Club Management System (CMS), a brand new custom made Information System set to manage all the University clubs’ data. The system was launched on Monday for testing by the Dean of Students.

 

Speaking during the launch at his Office, Mr. Ochieng’ praised the creativity and innovation demonstrated by the Strathmore Research Club’s Phenom Research Lab team (the club’s Information Technology Research wing) in coming up with the system.

 

“Manual management of the University’s clubs and societies’ information has been such a daunting task. The new system will help my office to monitor every club activity with a click of a button. I highly commend the development team for such a good job, they have not only made themselves proud but the university too”, said Mr. Ochieng’. He also asked the team to develop a sports management module.

 

Mr. Ochieng was especially grateful to Stephen Mokoro, the Lead Developer of CMS and Founder and Director of the Phenom Research Lab. Other developers include Michael Kiarie and John Ngugi. The Phenom Research lab is made up of highly talented Information Technology students who are determined to use their skills and technical knowhow to create innovative solutions to Africa’s most pressing developmental needs.

 

“We want to bring together Strathmore’s best talent in IT and give them a platform to showcase their technical prowess. Although we are still a young team, we have big dreams. Our goal is to at one time, undertake highly technical research in such areas of artificial intelligence as machine learning, natural language processing, expert systems, neural networks and robotics among others. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. We have just taken our first step”, said Stephen.
