    Uganda Christian University (UCU) is mourning the death of Joanne Mirana Wanyana, a second-year student who was pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Analytics. The news was announced on different fora on social media including the UCU Students Guild X platform.
     
    “We have woken up this morning with heavy hearts after hearing of the loss of our friend Joanne Mirana Wanyana, a student of Bachelor of Science in Data Science Analytics 1:2. Kindly receive our heartfelt condolences to her family,” the tweet said. 

    Wanyana is reported to have passed away on September 14, 2024 at a local hospital after battling illness.
     
    According to her classmates and lecturers she was a dedicated and promising student. 
    “We are heartbroken by her passing. She was focused and kind,” said Desire Kobuzare the guild member of Parliament for the Faculty of Engineering, Design and Technology.
     
    The news of Wanyana comes days after that of Lillian Kampi, a second year student of Bachelor of Nursing, who was found dead in her room on September 9.
