The Master of Science in Management and Organizational Development (MOD) stands as one of Chandaria School of Business' flagship programs. Taught as a cohort, every year around fifty managers spanning all sectors and industries in East Africa converge for a year and a half journey through salient cutting-edge experiential learning in leadership, ethics, organizational behavior, strategic management, project management, and organization development.

One of the anchor lecturers in the program, USIU-Africa's Dr. Scott Bellows, organized an alumni networking event and sent out invitations to the one-thousand plus students who completed the prestigious program. Over 150 alumni attended along with Dr. Scott serving as the host and MC as well as Prof. Fred Newa, Robi Koki Ochieng, Director of Legal Services Helen Ambasa, and Alumni Affairs' Michael Kisilu also attended and interacted with the alumni.

The Chair of the Alumni Association, James Gathere, spoke at the end of the evening and invited those in attendance to join the Alumni Association. The current MOD cohort welcomed the alumni by contributing towards and providing the evening's food and drinks. Scott agreed with alumni to host another event in June 2023.
