To understand how today’s youth perceive the legacy of these martyrs, we spoke to some Uganda Christian University (UCU) students. Their reflections suggest that the fire of 1886 has not gone out, it has simply changed form.
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.
Dr. Edward Kanyesigye (informally known as D. Ned) is a triumphant man. The founding dean of Uganda Christian University’s (UCU) School of Medicine (SoM) will this July celebrate the graduation of his pioneer students. Getting the SOM up and running was a lifetime achievement, and it gives him great joy to see his first students graduate.

But that trajectory may be reversed if a collaboration plan involving UCU and the Dutch-based, Hanze University of Applied Sciences is achieved.
Uganda Christian University (UCU) has added a new guesthouse to its collection of hospitality facilities. The Kingdom View Guest House, located on Besania Hill, Mukono, was acquired as a ministry donation from The Rock Kingdom LTD (UG), funded by The Rock Outreach (USA) late 2022. The guesthouse, completed in 2016, becomes the university’s fifth hospitality facility, but the first outside the precincts of UCU’s main campus. The other four guesthouses — Eunice, Garry, Missionary House and Tech Park Units — are within the university.
A grant from the Uganda National Council for Sciences and Technology made the research possible. The project’s goal was to develop and distribute compound feeds for crickets with a protein content of 50%-65%.
