Founding Secretary Silas Amutenya leaves DASP

The DASP community is sad to let one of its most popular members move to hopefully greener pastures: Mr Silas Amutenya, the founding secretary of the Department of Architecture, later to become DASP, leaves the Department on 31. March 2018. Since 2011 Silas has been the point of contact of the Department, cherished by staff and students alike for his diligence, his positive spirit and collegiality. As the only male secretary at NUST Silas has challenged stereotypes and surpassed boundaries.
