The Department of Human Nutrition and Consumer Sciences is proud for the appointment of Prof. Joyce Kinabo as a Professor Emerita, marking a historic milestone for both the department and Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA). This distinguished title is a testament to Prof. Kinabo’s remarkable academic career and lifelong dedication to advancing human nutrition and allied sciences.
The title Professor Emerita is an honorary designation awarded to retired professors who have made outstanding contributions to academia, research, and institutional development. It is a symbol of continued affiliation with the university and recognition of their enduring impact in their field.
Prof. Kinabo’s appointment is particularly noteworthy as she becomes the first ever Professor Emerita in the history of SUA, and our department is the first to have such a distinguished position. Her leadership and mentorship have shaped generations of nutrition professionals, and her influence extends beyond the university to national and global platforms in food and nutrition policy, research, and capacity building.
We celebrate this great achievement and are proud that Prof. Kinabo will continue to share her invaluable expertise and wisdom with us. Her new role ensures that SUA and the Department of Human Nutrition and Consumer Sciences will remain enriched by her visionary contributions for years to come.
Congratulations, Prof. Kinabo! Your legacy continues to inspire us all.
