Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba, former Makerere Vice Chancellor today paid a courtesy visit to our Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaiah I.C. Wakindiki at the main campus Ruaraka.

Prof. Baryamureeba, now an ICT consultant with the Inter University Council of East Africa, a brain child of the EA partner States, is leading a team of researchers on how universities in the EA region are managing their research outreach programmes alongside teaching and learning.

KCA is among selected participants in the project for its leading role in remote engagement, our online platform through which students can be enrolled, taught and graduated virtually leading and minimise disruption during the Covid-19 era.

Additionally, the ex-VC commended KCA University for its cutting-edge market driven courses on business, management and technology and petitioned other institutions of higher learning to develop such specialised programmes and propel EAC to become Africa’s technology and business hub

Prof. Wakindiki, who took the helm at KCA University in March this year has positioned the university on a steady path towards more Research, Innovation and Outreach output programmes.
