Only seven (7) students achieved first class degrees, a performance Rev. Prof. Kitayimbwa said demonstrates a strong commitment to academic quality and rigor at UCU.
Using a descriptive phenomenological approach, Olimporera conducted in-depth interviews with nine mothers at a national referral hospital. What emerged were stories marked by shock, confusion, and fear.
In Uganda men have dominated the sports media landscape, representing approximately 75 to 85% of sports journalists, with women making up only 15 to 25%. Aheebwa highlights that sports journalism is “traditionally seen as a male domain” in Uganda, which has limited women’s entry and growth in this field. Female reporters often cover less prominent sports and have fewer opportunities to headline major events or gain editorial leadership roles.
We just need to take the lessons we’ve learnt and look a bit better next time round. Right now, we need to look at the highest we can finish.”
For Rev. Canon Paul Wasswa Ssembiro, chaplain of Uganda Christian University (UCU), it was a moment of joy and pride as he translated the sermon which Bishop Henry Luke Orombi, the former Archbishop of the Church of Uganda gave, at the event at the Anglican Shrine.
Students must also be aware of financial traps, which range from mobile loans to “buy now, pay later” schemes. A student who understands how money works can anticipate these pitfalls and take the safer and better route.
The graduation took place at UCU’s main campus in Mukono and celebrated students who had successfully finished the 12-week programme.
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.
UCU started off with a strong lead, scoring 24 points against Nabisunsa’s 11 in the first quarter. Sylvia Nakituuka opened the score with a three-point shot. Despite missing a couple of layups and jump shots, Nakituuka’s 11 first-quarter points gave the Lady Canons an early upper hand.
