Uganda Christian University (UCU) has recognized outstanding members of staff at its Annual Staff Excellence Awards, celebrating individuals whose work continues to advance the institution’s vision of being a Centre of Excellence in the heart of Africa.

The programme was birthed by Mrs. Patience Mushengyenzi in May 2023, out of her passion to help university students achieve academic excellence with values, but also as a gesture of supporting her husband’s ministry as the Vice Chancellor of the University.

This was witnessed during events such as Community Worship held on Tuesday of the week. International students led the congregation in soulful Kiswahili and Nigerian praise songs.

At the start of the week, during the Sunday service on June 29th, the day’s preacher, Dr. Eve Nakabembe, defined health as a state of physical, mental, spiritual, social, and economic well being and not merely the absence of disease.

UCU got off to a promising start, with captain Ibanda Lwabanga knocking down a three-pointer and Joel Kayiira adding six early points, leading the Mukono side to a 15–11 advantage at the end of the first quarter.
