At the National Council for Higher Education University Exhibition


Friday 25 through Sunday 27 May saw the IUHS project at the Uganda National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) University Exhibition. This was the first time the NCHE had organized an exhibition for universities and it was a great success. We had visits and enquiries from many Senior 6 pupils, parents, members of the general public, and academics from other institutions. The Minister for Education and the Minister of State for Higher Education toured the exhibition and were very supportive of our efforts to set up a health sciences university in the country. Our printer Tony pulled out all the stops and delivered our brochures on time, and our stall layout was very enticing. Phiona, Sarah, Patricia, and Bijan manned and womaned the stall all weekend and did an excellent job in selling the project.
Today, the New Vision newspaper carried an excellent article about the project - check www.newvision.co.ug.
