Alumni organization: Graduates of Strathmore bear a special imprint. They possess an uncommon affection for their alma mater and collegiality for one another. The Foundation helps them organize the Strathmore Alumni Association to do good things for Kenya, the school, and each other. Meetings have been held in Nairobi, London, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. U.S.-based alumni have already pledged financial support for student scholarships in Nairobi.

Program development: Strathmore is developing international partnerships for new programs and courses of study of the highest international standard. Strathmore is working on a new MBA program, a center for entrepreneurship, an honors program in multilateral assistance program management, a distance learning program in other East African countries, and a special program in African ideals and institutions. In the U.S. Strathmore is exploring partnerships with multilateral, bilateral, and private institutions such as the U.S. Agency for International Development, Princeton University’s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, The Witherspoon Institute, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Financial Women’s Association, and historically black colleges and universities.

 Resource development: Strathmore represents the best of indigenous managerial capacity building for Africa, a highly effective means for philanthropists to support solutions to the many ills currently plaguing the continent. As a distinctive university focused on management, finance, commerce, and information technology, Strathmore is teaching and leading for Kenya’s recovery.

The Campaign for Strathmore

Breaking new ground in Kenya and East Africa in educational institutional advancement, Strathmore University is envisioning an unprecedented multi-year campaign, called “What Kenya Needs Strathmore To Be: The Campaign For Strathmore”.

Strathmore's Rising Star

 The University’s plan calls for land acquisition, new facilities construction, new equipment procurement, faculty compensation stabilization and improvement, and, above all, more student scholarships. Funding support will be selectively cultivated from corporations, foundations, agencies, and individuals with interest in and capacity for Africa, higher education, distance learning, IT systems application, business and commercial management, entrepreneurship, good governance, poverty eradication, HIV/AIDS, and women’s empowerment.

To build the base for these initiatives (and ultimately to achieve funding self-sustainability), the University and its Foundation are also currently seeking “start-up” capacity-building support for the initial development efforts.
