Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and Partners of Borana University,
It is my honour to extend my warmest greetings to you all as we continue our shared journey of knowledge, discovery, and service. At BRU we remain steadfast in our mission to provide quality, relevant education, to conduct research that addresses both national and community-level challenges, and to engage meaningfully with our society.
To our students: Your dedication brings pride to this institution. I congratulate those who recently completed entrance/exams successfully, and encourage all of you to embrace every opportunity here with curiosity, integrity, and resilience.
To our faculty and staff: Your commitment fuels BRU’s growth and excellence. I call on you to continue fostering an inclusive, respectful environment where innovation, critical thinking, and ethical leadership thrive.
To our community and external partners: Thank you for your collaboration, trust and investment in our shared vision of becoming a leading institution in East Africa—especially in areas of pastoralism, dry-land agriculture, governance and indigenous democracy.
As we move forward, let us strengthen our sense of unity, uphold academic rigor, serve with compassion, and build a brighter future not only for BRU but for the wider region we serve. Together, we will ensure that our graduates are well-equipped, morally grounded, and ready to contribute to our society and beyond.
Wishing you all success, growth and fulfilment in the academic year ahead.
With sincere regards,
Dr. Befikadu Chemere, President
Borana University
