In today’s information-saturated world, the line between truth and falsehood is often blurry, making the role of journalism more critical than ever. In such situations, the likelihood of defamation rises, a bad place for individuals and the media to find themselves in.
Very soon our university will be witnessing a Guild leadership handover. When it happens, it will be the 27th function of its kind. I have been serving with the outgoing team as MP School of Journalism, and Minister of Information. As such, I have the burden to share a few notes with the 27th Guild leadership to help them serve the university better. I seek to give this advice because I, my colleagues, and those who served before us hold a unique position since we have completed the same journey you are about to begin.

The student leadership elections at Uganda Christian University (UCU) are a unique process and have become a model that other institutions are starting to emulate.

Life beyond the university walls can be exciting, but it will also present new difficulties. In the professional realm, the stakes are often higher. You will face competition, expectations, and the pressures of navigating your career path. The transition will not be easy.
Social media serves as an extension of our CVs, reflecting not only our professional accomplishments but also our values, behaviour, and personality. In today’s competitive job market, employers increasingly use social media as a supplementary screening tool.

It is essential to curate our online presence deliberately, ensuring that our posts align with our aspirations and how we wish to be perceived by others.

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” This is a quote by Vince Lombardi which anyone would do well to listen to. As you the students prepare for the upcoming exams, we ask that you take these words to heart. Doing well in the exams will depend on how well you have prepared for them.
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says “mental health”?
Do you take a deep sigh of concern and think Butabika? Depression? Rich kids who can’t get a grip? Spiritual battles? Or do you acknowledge that it is an important aspect of your life and listen for ways to better it?
I know people will be depressed when not working , or regrets about not studying something different and yet as long as you have your papers , you will finally do what you want as long .
