UCU@25 anniversary activities

Uganda Christian University (UCU) held a public lecture on  October 26, 2022, in Nkoyoyo Hall as one of the activities to mark UCU@25 – the university’s 25th year of existence.  The main speaker was UCU’s first Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Noll, and the main discussant was his immediate successor, Canon Dr. John Senyonyi. Under the topic of Uganda Christian University: The Beginnings of Private Higher Education in Uganda, each spoke about their experiences. The day before, on Oct. 25, the University hosted its alumni at a homecoming ceremony at the main campus in Mukono. UCU Partner’s photographer Pauline Luba captured most of the unique moments.
