University of Saint Joseph Mbarara Marks a Historic 5th Graduation with the Introduction of Prestigious University Awards

On a radiant and memorable day, the University of Saint Joseph Mbarara (USJM) wrote a new chapter in its young but remarkable history as it held its 5th Graduation Ceremony and, for the very first time, conferred specially instituted University Awards to celebrate outstanding achievement, character, and contribution among its community.

In a historic milestone, the university introduced five prestigious honors:

• The Robert Rukaari Entrepreneurship Award
• The Ngabirano Charles Leadership Award
• The Paulton Award
• La Ban CeRICE Award
• The Chancellor Award

These awards are more than trophies; they are a bold declaration of USJM’s vision to nurture not just academically excellent graduates, but transformative leaders, innovative entrepreneurs, dedicated researchers, and servants of society who will shape the future of the Pearl of Africa and beyond.

Surrounded by proud families, distinguished guests, faculty in colorful academic regalia, and an atmosphere charged with joy and possibility, recipients stepped forward to receive their awards from the Chancellor and university leadership, each handshake symbolizing the passing on of responsibility to the next generation of change-makers.

This 5th Graduation was not just a celebration of academic certificates earned; it was a powerful affirmation that USJM is committed to forming holistic graduates equipped with knowledge, values, integrity, and the courage to lead. A new tradition has been born, and the bar for excellence has been raised even higher.

To God be the glory for five fruitful years, and onward to many more decades of impact!
