dc.description.abstractThe principal purpose for the formation of Daystar University as viewed in the eyes of the university founders is clearly articulated in the vision and the mission of the university. It is therefore in the interest of the university founders and other stakeholders to know whether the university is keeping within the parameters of the original purpose for which it was formed. Moreover, as a chartered private university in Kenya, the Commission for Higher Education requires Daystar University to establish a follow-up mechanism to ascertain that they are meeting the goals and the objectives for which the university was formed. Being a mission-driven non-profit organization, Daystar University is faced with the challenge of measuring the success of the university mission and vision which is difficult to measure compared to profitability. However, with the use of quetionnaires, useful data was collected among the university graduates to measure the success of the mission and vision which seek to impart servant and transformational leadership virtues. The data collected shows that the university mission and vision influenced the graduates’ ethical conduct with the academic staff being more effective in passing the mission and vision to the student than the non-academic staff. The findings of the research revealed that a considerable majority at 78% of the respondents had the university mission and vision statements made clear to them. Further, it was noted that while all the diploma respondents understood these statements, only 43% of the masters students understood them. Daystar University alumni were influenced by the mission and vision to be more caring, honest, respectful, just and even empathetic in life owing to the servant and transformational leadership values inculcated in them through the university mission and visionen_US
