As a journalist, I am not outside this reflection. Our profession is meant to speak uncomfortable truths. But we do not always succeed. The pressures are real from economic to political and sometimes to personal fears.

The event was held to welcome the first-year students to the School of Law and UCU community at large and to familiarise them with multiple systems within the university, such as UCU’s digital library and the Alpha student portal. It was organised as a joint effort between the School of Law and the UCU Law Society.

Prof. Christopher Byaruhanga, the dean at Uganda Christian University’s (UCU) Bishop Tucker School of Divinity and Theology, is the inaugural chairperson of the ethics committee for universities and tertiary institutions. The newly created body by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) is tasked with creating ethical rules for universities and tertiary institutions as required by the law.

Kefa Senoga’s journey into the world of mass communication started with a desire to know and to be informed. His fascination with current affairs and politics, combined with his family’s background in journalism, led him to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication at Uganda Christian University (UCU). Senoga awaits graduation this November.

In an effort to prioritise the health and well-being of its students, Uganda Christian University (UCU) recently held a Health Awareness Week (HAW) at UCU.

Dr. Gladys Ayot Oyat’s inspiration to pursue a PhD in Education Administration and Management at Uganda Christian University (UCU) is rooted in her passion for addressing real-world challenges. Her commitment to women’s issues served as a driving force in choosing a research topic focused on the domestic violence impact on female teachers in Uganda.

Precious Claire Ninsiima, 22,  is the best student graduate from the October 13, 2023, ceremony. The Bachelor of Business Administration student could have joined a public university, where she was offered a scholarship, but didn’t. Her mother chose Uganda Christian University (UCU) because of its moral principles and image as a Christ-centered institution. 

Walking into the gates of Uganda Christian University came with its fair share of pleasant surprises. Watching monkeys jump from one tree to another uncaged without paying a penny was truly priceless. It triggered a re-imagination of the day Abraham Lincoln’s declaration literally took off the shackles from the black man’s feet.
