Since coming to the United States from Kenya, Dr. Kefa Otiso, geography, has worked to raise awareness about his home country, to promote community and a better quality of life among Kenyans living in the U.S. and in Kenya, and to conduct meaningful research about relevant social issues and share it with others.

His efforts have been noted by Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki, who in December 2008 named Otiso an Elder of the Order of the Burning Spear, one of the country’s highest civilian honors.
