Makerere University has <\/span>set new dates for the 74th graduation <\/span>ceremony during which 13,000 stu<\/span>dents are expected to graduate at the <\/span>institution\u2019s main campus in Kampala. <\/span>A letter released yesterday by Prof <\/span>Mukadasi Buyinza, the academic regis<\/span>trar, said the graduation ceremony will <\/span>be held next year, between January 22 <\/span>and January 26.<\/span><\/p>\n

It had earlier been an<\/span>nounced that the ceremony would be <\/span>held from January 8 to January 12,2024 <\/span>but due to the expected NAM Summit, <\/span>the changes had to be made to avoid <\/span>collision.<\/span><\/p>\n

The University vice chancellor, Prof <\/span>Barnabas Nawangwe, revealed last <\/span>month that the Senate would convene <\/span>to consider the final graduation list. <\/span>However, this was not possible, accord<\/span>ing to the university\u2019s spokesperson, Ms <\/span>Ritah Namisango.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe call upon all those students who <\/span>will be graduating to use this time to <\/span>ensure that they have satisfied the aca<\/span>demic requirements and financial obli<\/span>gations,\u201d Ms Namisango said.<\/span><\/p>\n

If all goes well, this is the first time <\/span>that the oldest public institution in <\/span>Uganda will be conducting its gradua- <\/span>tion in January after the 2020 Covid-19 <\/span>pandemic that disrupted the academ<\/span>ic calendar. The university held its grad- <\/span>uation ceremony this year in February, <\/span>but Prof Nawangwe said the institution <\/span>was slated to return to the old schedul<\/span>ing in August next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since the Covid -19 lockdown, <\/span>Makerere has embraced a blended <\/span>learning format with some students <\/span>studying off-campus in what is termed <\/span>the Makerere University E-learning En<\/span>vironment.<\/span><\/p>\n

While addressing the 4th Fulbright <\/span>Prof William Ssenteza Kajubi memori<\/span>al lecture on November 7, Prof Nawang- <\/span>we noted that the institution had em<\/span>braced Artificial Intelligence as the new <\/span>normal to enable learning for all the <\/span>students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
