Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Adventist University of Central Africa Kigali, Masoro campus has graduated 391 students in its 27th undergraduate and 5th post-graduate ceremony on Sunday, November 14.<\/p>\n

The University awarded 36 candidates a Master\u2019s degree in Business Administration and Education whereas the rest have secured an undergraduate degree in different disciplines ranging from business, IT, education and nursing among others.<\/p>\n

Outstanding performers of class 2021 were awarded laptops, a savings account of Rwf 1 million and a 12-months professional internships each by the Bank of Kigali and Banque Populaire du Rwanda (BPR).<\/p>\n

Fifty-six percent of the graduates were females.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by different dignitaries from the government of Rwanda, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, academicians, students and parents.<\/p>\n

Addressing the graduates, Dr. Zeno Charles-Marcel, the Health Ministries Associate Director at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, he championed the students to use the skills acquired and achieve more than the current generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo whom much is given, much is required. This is not an easy thing, the journey has been long, so that means you owe something big your families, community and the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Zeno also asked them called for decision making wisdom to choose what is right from wrong: \u201cWill you be leaders or bosses? Will you be gentle even to those who criticize you? Will you keep on being agents of peace and ambassadors of Shalom?\u201d he questioned them.<\/p>\n

He therefore asked them to always stand for the right even during tough times and uphold persistence in this world of \u2018evil\u2019 desires.<\/p>\n

\u201cFight corruption and other practices that are a result of evil desires that lead people to search wealth instead of spirit, that get people want to get instead of share, that want to reap without sowing and are in need of leading but not following,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dr Zeno added that self-control and patients should be added to the knowledge they obtained, which only come as a gift of the holy spirit.<\/p>\n

Officiating the ceremony, Valentine Uwamariya, the Minister of Education urged the members of the outgoing class to maximise their potentials, as new entrants to the Rwandan market.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever ever depart from your landmarks, but instead keep raising up your standards. Strive to be the heads not the tails, the first not the last, and be above not beneath,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd lastly, may you live to enjoy the fruits of your labour and have reasons to celebrate more,\u201d.<\/p>\n

Uwamariya then commended AUCA\u2019s contribution in the education sector, describing the institution as the government\u2019s partner to achieve its noble vision of 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regard you as partners in growth and manpower development for this great nation, because of several features that distinguish you from other public and private institutions,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

On behalf of students, one of the awarded students in Software Engineering, Kausar Fatema also testified to the hard work of AUCA\u2019s staff which he described as factors that made them to where they stand today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very glad of the tireless work of our university staff to see us growing, preparing us for the job market, and shaping our identities as we stand today. We also promise to make you proud,\u201d she commended.<\/p>\n

AUCA has more than three decades\u2019 experience in education and over 25,000 students have passed through the school.<\/p>\n

It holds a faculty of IT, Business Administration, Theology and the recently added Health sciences.<\/p>\n
