It is with profound sadness that I have learned of the untimely demise of Dr. Vijoo Rattansi, former Chancellor of the University of Nairobi, whose distinguished service spanning a decade, from 2013 to 2023 as the institution's first female Chancellor marked a significant chapter in Kenya's higher education landscape.

Dr. Rattansi was an exceptional leader, a passionate advocate for education, and a woman of remarkable grace and integrity. Her unwavering commitment to academic excellence, leadership development, and the advancement of education inspired countless students, scholars, and leaders during her tenure of service at the University of Nairobi and beyond.

On behalf of my family and myself, I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, the University of Nairobi community, and all whose lives she touched. May they find comfort and strength during this difficult time.

May the Almighty God grant Dr. Vijoo Rattansi eternal rest and her loved ones the fortitude to bear this great loss.

In Memoriam: Dr. Vijoo Rattansi, OGW
Chancellor, University of Nairobi (2013 – 2023)
The University of Nairobi Alumni Association mourns the passing of Dr. Vijoo Rattansi, who made history as the first woman to serve as Chancellor of the University of Nairobi .

For a decade, Dr. Rattansi presided over our graduation ceremonies and conferred degrees on tens of thousands of the men and women who today make up this Association. For many of us, hers is the hand that marked the moment we became alumni.

Her service went far beyond ceremony. Through the Rattansi Educational Trust — a family commitment to Kenyan education stretching back to 1956 — she financed the education of countless students who could not otherwise have afforded it. She championed resource mobilisation, strategic partnerships and institutional development at a time when the University needed all three.
She showed us what it means to give back to an institution.

That is the very charge this Association carries, and we carry it in part because she modelled it.
Our condolences to the Rattansi family, to the University community, and to every graduate whose path she quietly made possible.
Rest in peace, Chancellor.
