Antonio de Saint Exupery’s timeless wisdom rings true: “as for the future, your task is not only to foresee it, but also to enable it.” This sage advice finds profound resonance in the intricate tapestry of Daystar University’s operations, spanning across divisions and departments.

In August 2023, our Vice Chancellor, Prof. Laban Ayiro, etched the University’s commitment in stone by signing the Global Performance Contract, signalling the dawn of the 2023-2024 performance era.

This era, characterised by four resolute pillars, vows to sculpt an educational experience of a lifetime: drive students’ experience (D4D),

Amidst this backdrop of ambition, Daystar University aspires to craft a Legacy of Light. Guided by the North Star of our strategic plan, deliberate efforts have been set into motion. These efforts aren’t just about enriching classroom experiences; they aim to infuse every facet of campus life with wonder.

Key plans are in place under the Finance Administration and Planning (FAP) Division to construct the David Musau Mumama Learning complex, a state of the art complex that will house our prestigious School of Law Programmes and construction of the second phase of the School of Nursing. This is in response to rising demand for training opportunities and developing the best Nurses and Clinical Officers across the vast expanse of Africa and abroad. Additionally, the School of Mission and Theology, nurturing future servant leaders for the transformation of the Church and modern society in Africa and beyond is in the pipe line. These dreams are not distant mirages; they are tangible, solidifying into reality with every passing day.

The very environment we inhabit mirrors our solemn duty to stewardship and cultivation. At Daystar, our commitment to greening our surroundings and preserving trees stands unyielding, even as the Athi River campus braves a harsh climate for much of the year. We now stand in the embrace of Phase 5, with over 10,000 plus new saplings taking root under our care. A borehole plunges deep into the earth, an offering to satisfy our water demand. Recently, our parking lot has undergone a transformation, paved with cabro, a testament to our resolve to nurture the world we live in. These projects are not isolated endeavours; they are the living continuum of our relentless journey towards making Daystar the University with a Difference.

As you graduate today, our prayer for you is that you will be the difference and create a legacy of light wherever life’s journey takes you. Keep the Daystar within your hearts shinning. Congratulations class of 2023!
