5 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3: Dr. Timothy Wachira Vice-Chancellor Daystar University Welcome! To a University with a difference! The changing nature of work, technology, and competition in the global job market has far outpaced what the education system in many universities provides for students, despite the ongoing efforts of educators and communities to improve them. Priorities and goals set by educators at all levels of academia are doing little to alleviate this problem. Assessment is the one true measure of academic excellence but it slowly but surely limits many young people s chances of experiencing any semblance of the success in life that we expect for them and that they believe school will provide for them. The present and upcoming structure of the education system in Daystar University does students a tremendous justice by delivering the quality schooling that the job market requires today. Globalization and rapid technological advancements are having dramatic effects on the ways we communicate and conduct business as well as in our personal lives. History teaches us that even as new technologies create growth and new opportunity, they can heighten economic inequalities and sharpen social divisions. As we move into the information age, we can reap the growth that comes from revolutionary technologies. To further this quest to achieve the millennium development goals and the vision 2030, I am glad that modern state of the art structures are complete and this will ensure the quest to achieve our goals is fulfilled. I am pleased that at Daystar University we strive to give you a wholesome educational experience that enables you to recognize these disparities and thus empowering you to address the same through the biblical perspectives incorporated in our teaching programmes. Education should increase students understanding of the world around them. core. As students move from class to class and progress to the next grade, they are exposed to content-specific knowledge. They are taught how what they learn in one class relates to another or its application in the world outside of school. Incorporating more rigorous and relevant instruction in classrooms is what we as a university emphasize on. When students are engaged in the learning process, real achievement takes place, and their chances to excel at what they do increase. My hope and prayer is that we can learn to embrace this and work towards the gratification of God as it is He that we should all be serving. This should be reflected through our day to day activities in teaching, learning and any work within and away from this great Institution. Excellence cannot by any means be achieved in a day or two. It is a continuing process that we should all embrace. We should renew our commitment to excellence as a university as we strive to continue offering the best university education there can be in the country and ultimately, the world over. Our objective is for Daystar University to become a one stop educational institution of higher learning where the core programmes necessary for meeting the development needs of this country are taught while retaining our philosophy of instilling biblical values in those who pass through our hands. For as you well know life is holistic in nature and it is therefore required of us to always have a balance between the physical and spiritual, philosophy and conscience, and individuality and communality. This can only be achieved when we all embrace a biblical perspective to life. Assessments play an important role in education, but a score on a test does not usually help the student when he or she is competing for a job with someone from around the globe. It is important that our students enter the global economy with the ability to apply what they learned in the university to a variety of ever-changing situations that they couldn t foresee before graduating. That is the mark of a quality education and a truer indication of academic excellence. Daystar University provides opportunities for students to work together to improve their understanding of concepts in the academic v

6 Daystar University - Profile About us The University was founded in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, by S.E Motsoko-Pheko, a political refugee from South Africa and Dr. Donald Smith & Mrs. Faye Smith, an American missionary couple.

Our Vision To be a distinguished, Christ-centered, African institution of higher learning for the transformation of Church and society.

Academic Highlights The University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research.
