STARFORD INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY RELOCATES TO ITS MAIN CAMPUS.
Starford International University is one of illiteracy eliminating universities in South Sudan. It was established in the early year of 2015 as Starford International College, but it was later changed to "Starford International University" after meeting the necessary requirements setforth thereto by the licensing commission.
The university was based in City Mall where it graduated 2 batches following its operations., not only that, but also one of the most recognized private university in the country and it competes regionally in delivering excellent education. Starford International University emerged as one of the universities in South Sudan with foreign students, just mention a few.
This University, according to ordinary Session of Higher education yesterday, announcing the number of students admitted at all Universities across South Sudan, Starford was ranked 4th after University of Juba, Upper Nile University, and Dr. John Garang Memorial University respectively in terms of students admitted through the ministry.
After the years of renting, the University board headed by the chairman and the board of Directors Hon.Brig.Gen. Dium Cyer Cyerdit managed to buy a piece of land and develops a new campus for the university at Hai Referendum, just miles away from the Bus station.
Upon its completion, all the University belongings were taken there last week and upto earlier this week. According to the statement made by the director of Academic Affairs, Mr. Matur Ater Majiing all the Lectures are to resume tomorrow on Friday, 17th/March/ 2023. In other words, the university will function as of tomorrow.
To students, the jubilation is not all about getting the new campus and leaving City Mall behind but it's the about the CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION.
Campus beautification at the essence of having vast land to chill, such as play ground within the campus which helps students to advance their game and sport activities as well as helping University administrators to create co curriculum activities; and be conducted within such open spaces for each and everyone to participate freely.
It helps students come out of their shells and convert their weaknesses into their strength. Campus life is beyond the infrastructural and academic training programs. It enriches students with ease in a life time opportunity to live through the experiences that, otherwise is earned very hard.
With current independent campus, Starford International University will now be able to attract more students, and more entities that are willing to implement their educational programs within higher institutions.
To my fellow South Sudanese, we need to be appreciative; if there is any General among the Generals who contributed to the future of this country, then it's founder of Starford International University, Hon. Brig. Gen. Dium Cyer Cyerdit who decided to humble himself, leaves luxury life and establishes learning institutions where leaders, lawyers, doctors, engineers, and whatsoever profession will later be produced for the benefit of our nation.
Many of us have been bullying him and the institution, calling its with names, jama city mall and other blasphemous words uttered not knowing everything is determined by the law of time. Of course, it was city mall; Dium Cyer managed to mold the city.
Welcome to Starford International University where dreams come true! We believe in excellence and discipline!
