The University management is committed to nurturing students  talents. This was well demonstrated when the University Vice-Chancellor- Prof. Deogratius JAGANYI led a delegation of university management to  provide support to university drama team items at the pre-festival gala performance. 

He encouraged  students to keep sharpening their talent dreams as they push their academic excellence journey. 

The  students engaged in the drama festival were promised that their exams will be rescheduled. This motivated a number of  students who were contemplating to forgo the competition due to examinations that coincided  with the festival calendar.

As the coordinator  in charge of this group, I am very proud of what the young talents have achieved, the joy and pride is to see them celebrating their hard-earned work, as an office we will keep supporting them, William Luta  said.
