Stella was a third-year engineering student at the University of Nairobi in 1984. She died when a rock fell on her while walking on the sidewalk during the construction of Lilian Towers.
During her graduation, her parents stood that December when he name was called out and they received an aegrotat degree on her behalf.
An aegrotat degree is a degree granted to a student who dies in the course of their studies, but whom the faculty believes would have passed anyway.
The late Stella Muka Awinja, is the only campus student in Kenya with a hostel named in her honour. Sijui nini itakuwa named after y’all?
What an honour!!!
