On Apr 23, @VUKampala students joined the Tech Leadership & Mentorship Workshop at the National ICT Hub. Through our @VUCoopEd office they connected with industry leaders, mentors & innovators bridging academia with the world of work.

We are grateful to the CIO-CXO Digital Leadership Forum and all the partners who made this possible. The impact of this workshop will ripple far beyond the day it has ignited ambition, strengthened networks, and inspired future CIOs and digital leaders.

Today we celebrate an incredible leader and an even better human. Happy Birthday, Dr. @shamimkmatovu🎉 Thank you for loving us, believing in us, and pushing us to grow. Your leadership has shaped our confidence and created space for us to thrive. Wishing you more joy❤️

Last Thursday at Deloitte Uganda via @VUKampala Engaging session learning from industry experts about consulting, audit, and career growth. Thanks to @shamimkmatovu , @_ClaudineU and VU Cooperative office for making it happen and @DeloitteUganda for hosting us.

Too often, doubt sounds louder than direction, especially when you’re at a crossroads in your career or trying to figure out your next step. But growth rarely asks you to feel ready first, it asks you to keep showing up anyway. Start this week with courage, curiosity,& trus💙

Congratulations to Ms. Meera Ruparelia on her appointment to represent the Board of Directors on the Victoria University Council.

"It’s not only about the degree but also the quality of a person you are." – Dr. Shamim K. Matovu Degrees open doors, but character keeps them open. Success is measured not just by titles, but by integrity, empathy. Your degree is a milestone; your character is your legacy.

Yesterday, @shamimkmatovu and the @VUCoopEd VU led @VUKampala students for an industry engagement at @Deloitte Africa. Students gained real-world exposure to career pathways, professional growth, and leadership insights from industry experts.

Real impact goes beyond the classroom. At the Free Eye Camp in Bukedea, our students didn’t just observe healthcare,they experienced what it means to restore dignity through sight. From screenings to cataract surgeries. Service is the heart of healthcare. 💙

Happy Birthday @_ClaudineU Celebrating the consistency, impact, and positive energy you bring to the team every day. You keep things running better than we deserve and it never goes unnoticed. Today is all about you. Enjoy your day!

Happy birthday Claudine 💕💕

I am no longer measuring my worth by how much I can carry and I love it for me🥹💕💕💙

Today, I turn 28. This season hasn’t been about having everything figured out… it’s been about learning, unlearning, and relearning. Here’s what the last few years have taught me 👇

Your potential is bigger than the fears you carry. Too often, we let doubt, hesitation, and “what ifs” define our limits. But the truth is those fears are not facts. They’re just stories we’ve repeated long enough to believe.

From engaging with industry professionals to gaining real-world insights, the @nssfug #NSSFCareerExpo was filled with meaningful learning and inspiration for our students @isaacBakashaba2 @VUKampala #CareerDay #StudentSuccess

@VUCoopEd @nssfug @isaacBakashaba2 @VUKampala great 👍 It was so inspirational, painting for us a picture of "the future of work"
