Opus Dei

Strathmore University Business School has partnered with the Association of Consecrated Women in Eastern and Central Africa to implement the Sisters Blended Value Project.

The Community Service Centre in Strathmore University is involved in a number of projects whose aim is to empower individuals and communities using education, character development, and community engagement activities.

Last year, as Strathmore University's Class of 2020 geared up for an unusual graduation ceremony amidst the pandemic, Andrew Angatia took his first steps on an unconventional yet fulfilling path: He joined Our Lady of Angels, the formation house in Meru to follow a calling that will lead up to the profession of solemn vows as a Franciscan friar and to the priesthood, 11 years from now.

Since 2016 Strathmore University has marked Founder’s Week in the first week of October every year. That coincides with the commemoration with the founding of Opus Dei on October 2, 1928 and the canonization of St. Josemaría on October 6, 2002.

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei and Chancellor of Strathmore visited the university on Thursday 19 December.

I’ve grown up playing a good variety of sports: basketball, football, rugby, racquet games… Not forgetting swimming, jogging, cycling, judo, karate and my attempts at golf.
