Campus Talk with Michael Ainomugisha
The advent semester has arrived and will include many activities including a change in the guild government, the commencement of university football, and many other activities. We asked students what they are looking forward to this semester.
Primus Ashaba, LLB4
What I’m looking forward to during the next semester is, first of all, the fact that I’m going to my final year, which is just the best. Secondly, I’m excited about the elections and the handover process to the new government, which will be the 27th government. I’m also looking forward to the inter-faculty games and the UCU Law Society Gala, which is always interesting.”
Zephaniah Kyobwika, BSWASA3.
I think the semester is going to be interesting, especially since it’s my last one here at UCU. 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.”
William Opio, BAJC 2
So, my expectation for this semester, being my second year, second semester, is to excel in my practical areas of videography, photography, and all the hands-on aspects of journalism. By next year, I’ll be in my third year and will have to choose between PR and journalism. As someone who wants to pursue communications, I want to make sure I fully maximise this semester to learn all the practical skills. By the time I move on to focus on communications next year, I want to have a solid foundation in journalism. So, my goal for this semester is to work hard and ensure I acquire those essential skills.”
Edrin Brian Mukhwana, BAJC2
Academically, I aim to achieve a GPA of 3.7 or higher by actively participating in class, submitting quality assignments, seeking help when needed, developing a study routine and effective time management techniques. I want to enhance my skills by improving writing and communication, learning new software, and developing critical thinking. I want to expand my network by attending career workshops and connecting with different professionals. I also want to prioritise self-care, and seek support from peers and mentors. I want to stay organised, focused, and committed to achieving excellence.”
Emmanuel Edonu, LLB4
My expectations are really so high because we shall be having a diverse number of students from different schools and faculties in one semester. This is the most populated semester at UCU. For those who are planning to come in for elections, this is the time they need to start preparing because they’re going to be the next leaders that we are going to usher into power as we also plan to transition. As a 4th-year student, I’m excited for my final year and look forward to positive vibes all semester, regardless of what is going to come our way.”
