@Kilavuka While discussing self discipline, @Kilavuka challenged graduates to stop leaving things to chance and take ownership of their vision for life.
How?
🔹 Prioritise what matters.
🔹 Delay gratification.
🔹 Set boundaries.
🔹 Build routines that reinforce positive habits.

[Strathmore University @StrathU]

Our keynote speaker, @Kilavuka, former CEO of Kenya Airways, opened with his signature humour before delivering a powerful reminder to the graduates:

“Everything falls and rises on leadership. True leadership begins from within.”

🔹 Self-awareness
🔹 Self-knowledge
🔹 Self-acceptance

Be competently dangerous. Be ethical. Be men and women of impact.

[Strathmore University @StrathU]

In his opening remarks at the #LeadershipAcademyGraduation2026, Mr. Anthony Kahindi, the University Secretary, challenged the graduates to reflect on some fundamental questions:

1. Can you lead for others, not yourself?
2. Why should anyone be led by you? What is your gift to the people you lead?
3. Can you stop doing and start leading?
4. Can you lead from a place of deeply held principles?
5. And finally, can you earn and deserve the privilege of leadership?

If we all committed to the truth, ultimately it would make the world a better place. ~@VinceOgutu

[Strathmore University @StrathU]

Trust is not built through promises alone. It is earned through action, accountability and leadership.

Our Vice-Chancellor, Dr. @VinceOgutu, joins distinguished leaders at the opening plenary of #TheTrustSummit2026 to explore how we can rebuild trust from the frontline.

#RebuildingTrust #LeadershipAccountability #WeavingTrust

[Strathmore University @StrathU]

Where did trust go wrong?

We took to the ground to ask people what trust really means to them today, when it breaks down, and how we can begin to rebuild it.

We heard what the @StrathU community had to say ahead of the Trust Summit, which starts today in Nairobi.

Different universities. One mission: find the weaknesses in a banking application.

Meet the Pwners, Red Team champions of #JengaSec2026!

Bringing together students from Karatina University, Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, United States International University - Africa and Strathmore University, this team took on the challenge of identifying vulnerabilities and testing the limits of digital defences.

Their win highlights what happens when technical skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork come together.

Congratulations to our champions! Keep pushing boundaries and sharpening your cybersecurity skills.

Three days. Big questions. One stronger cybersecurity community.

Day 3 of #JengaSec2026 brought conversations on cybersecurity careers, homegrown innovation and the skills Kenya needs to defend itself.

We also celebrated the participants who rose to the challenge and put their cybersecurity skills to the test (the big reveal is tomorrow!)

The message is clear: building a safer digital future takes skilled people, homegrown solutions, and industry-wide collaboration.

Thank you to our speakers, partners, participants and everyone who made #JengaSec2026 possible. Let’s keep building!

And stay tuned for the BIG REVEAL tomorrow.
