A modern woman 

Top leadership in student unions was the preserve of male students, but not so at the strathmore university. When news broke on January last year that Maureen Gitau would be vying for the seat ,many students and lectures were fascinated perhaps because she was just an ordinary student, humble and quiet. It was surprise that a woman had shown interest in the top seat, but she was never discouraged as she had set her eye on the top seat and nothing was going to stand in her way.
Right now she is the chairman and the first male student in a Kenyan university to become a chairman. it was not easy, she had to devote her time to campaigns given that many students did not know her, so it was a challenge to get people to know who she was.
Maureen represents a group of women who are determined to become leaders not only in an education setting but also in other fields.
