The Dean congratulated the students for choosing Daystar as their University of choice. “I appreciate each one of you, you are most welcome to this great family of Daystar,” said the Dean of Students, further advising Freshmen to know why they were in Daystar, pursue excellence and choose their friends wisely.

“While some friends will help you succeed in [pursuing] your destiny, others will kill your destiny, therefore, it is your responsibility to walk cautiously and know what is right and what is wrong,” he warned.

 Mr. Ishimwe urged the Freshmen to set their goals right because they were the hope of future generations. “You all have an opportunity to move far beyond your expectation. The decision you make today will determine whether you will wear a gown or you will admire others in their graduation gown,” he advised”

 As the dinner came to an end, the most outstanding freshmen; best dressed male and female, and the most outgoing were awarded.
