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. One of the defining features of UCU’s elections is the absence of political parties. This allows candidates to focus on issues within the university rather than being swayed by external influences.
Uganda Christian University (UCU) students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication (BAJMC) were treated in journalism by the renowned veteran journalist, Drake Sekeba, during an engaging session held at the university’s M1 Block. The session, attended by first-year, first-semester students, was filled with practical advice and rich anecdotes drawn from Sekeba’s extensive career in the media industry.

I’m going to enjoy myself to the fullest by making sure I watch every game of soccer for the ladies’ team because they will be playing in the FUFA Elite League. I’ll get a chance to see how people play in the Elite League. Additionally, the University Football League is going to be on, and we’ll get a chance to watch our guys play in this year’s edition.”
UCU took the lead in the 30th minute when Harry Abiti curled a brilliant free-kick into the back of the net, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Mental health has become a point of concern in educational institutions worldwide, and Uganda is no exception. University students in Uganda face unique challenges that can significantly impact their mental well-being.
