Alumni Association
Upon graduation, graduates automatically become members of Daystar University Alumni Association (DUAA), which is solely run by the alumni through an executive committee elected annually. Through Daylink, a recently launched job placement centre, the graduates place their CVs with the centre, thus creating a link between the employers and Daystar graduates. DUAA has various initiatives among them the Somesha (Kiswahili for Educate) Scholarship Fund that aims at mobilizing resources for students who are unable to pay their fees. One way of doing this is through fund-raising dinners lined up for the year.

Famous quotes containing the word association:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
