November 7, 2025. Ms. Juliana Rotich, Fintech Leader, Tech Entrepreneur, and Chief Executive Officer Electronic Citizen Solutions Company presided over St. Paul’s University’s 34th graduation themed, “Empowering Ethical Leaders through Faith, Innovation, and Lifelong Learning,” on Friday, 7th November at the graduation square in Limuru campus. Distinguished members of society in the business world, academia and high ranking government officials were present to celebrate and witness this auspicious occasion in the calendar of the university. The University Chancellor Hon. Prof. Margaret Kobia conferred Degrees and awarded Diplomas and Certificates to approximately 2,500 graduands who fully satisfied the university Senate.
In her speech, Ms. Juliana observed this year’s graduation is happening in a year and decade of volatility, complexity and ambiguity because of the rapid disruption that is outpacing institutions ability to predict, prepare and protect future technology trends. The University Council Chair, His Grace The Most Rev. Dr. Jackson Ole Sapit emphasized on the relevance and significance of this year’s theme by stating that it captures St. Paul’s as a Christian university and what it places at the centre of its formation: character, creativity, and continuous growth. He further noted that faith is not mere sentiment but a moral compass that guides decisions and sustains integrity in both public and private life and adoption of technologies is what can unlock solutions to long-standing problems.
Hon. Prof. Margaret Kobia shared her deep gratitude and pride for the long-standing legacy of the university that is grounded in both academic rigor and spiritual growth. “St. Paul’s University is not just another institution; it is a sanctuary where minds are challenged, values are nurtured, and futures are shaped with purpose. We are a faith-based university that continues to raise ethical leaders — men and women who will influence society with integrity, service, and innovation,” she stated.
The Vice-Chancellor Rev. Canon Prof. James Kombo made reference to the milestones and achievements of the university and commended all staff, students, and partners. “St. Paul’s University is among the few institutions in the region with an accredited, state-of-the-art Virtual Campus — a testament to our commitment to flexible, accessible, and future-ready education,” the VC said. Further, the VC indicated that in order to steer continued growth and transformation, the University launched its Strategic Plan 2025–2030 — a blueprint for progress and sustainability. According to the VC, the strategic plan will position St. Paul’s University to thrive in an evolving higher education landscape while remaining firmly anchored in our Christian ethos.
In an era defined by rapid technological transformation, St. Paul’s University has embraced digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency, responsiveness, and educational impact. The university has digitized all its operations to become fully e-compliant and developed an AI Policy to guide the ethical integration of AI in teaching, research, and administration. These strategic investments underscore the university’s vision to make education more flexible, accessible, and more impactful in an increasingly digital world.
