ABOUT UCU ALUMNI

Background of the Association

In 1997, Bishop Tucker Theological College was renamed the Uganda Christian University and the pioneer graduates were in 2000. With the strong desire to promote Christian Faith and Unity amidst the students’ family of Uganda Christian University, an Alumni Association was formed upon a Christian background and recognized in 2000 under “Our Family UCU Our Pride (God the beginning and the end)” thereby commencing with selection and meeting of members, specifically, the pioneer graduate students at the time. This later saw the constitution of the Alumni Association passed in 2011. With awareness of a common heritage, the association recognized the need for continued mutual support and cooperation and as well, realized the need to play a collective role in development of University policies and influencing society hence committing to contribute to the growth and development of Uganda Christian University spiritually, intellectually, morally, materially, and socially.
