Servant Leadership

Daystar University gtaught me the importance of expressing myself and respectfully disagreeing with opinions that i djid not subscribe to. The university taught me that as much as i am leader i should not be afraid to be hands on on any given task in life and work space. A servant leader leads by example and does not instill fear to those he is leading.

It is a resourceful and productive school

Students are equipped with all the necessary resources that is lecturers, class equipment, laboratories and lab equipment. However, the school staff may at times be reluctant to cater for students' needs.

University and Friendships

The college experience for me was the greatest platform to create friendships with not only fellow student but with professors too. The university staff was intentional in interacting with students, in class and outside class. The university organized events that made these interactions possible and easy. This was one of the best things in my campus life
