Congratulations
Language is more than words; it is a connection!
MUST celebrated the graduation of its first Runyankore Basic Language Course cohort, advancing inclusion, enriching the student experience, and strengthening community engagement.
Initiated and coordinated by the International Relations Office, with support from the MUST–UCoBS Project, the programme saw 30 students graduate on 30th April 2026.
More cohorts will be rolled out in the future to expand access and impact. To reach a wider audience, online self-study lessons have also been developed for international students, visitors, and nationals to learn Runyankore and better connect with the region.
Speaking on the initiative, the International Relations Officer, Sheila Niinye, noted that internationalisation is more than crossing borders. It is about building meaningful connections with local communities. Language is a bridge to inclusion and belonging
From MUST to the International Space Station!
We are bursting with pride for Eng. Zaina Kalyankolo from FAST, a key mind behind the AI-powered ClimCam now orbiting Earth. Her achievement is a true testament to the power of science and technology at @MbararaUST.
Zaina helped design and calibrate the camera’s optical subsystem. She worked on configuring and aligning the optical sensors responsible for capturing high-quality environmental imagery and spectral data.
Her rigorous testing ensured the system could capture clear images under varying atmospheric conditions. These optics are central to the ClimCam mission, enabling the instrument to gather precise visual data for climate analysis. She worked with colleagues from Egypt, Kenya and Uganda (Kyambogo University, Soroti University)
