MAKERERE – The Hill is buzzing with fresh faces and fresh hopes as Makerere University opens its gates to a new class of first-year students. And leading the charge in welcoming them is none other than Guild President Ssentamu Churchill, who gave a rousing address that’s already making waves on social media.
“Makerere has chosen you,” Ssentamu told the new cohort. “But it’s your choices, your effort, and your passion in the journey ahead that will shape your destiny here. The path is yours to define.”
Posted via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Guild President’s message struck an inspiring tone — one that framed admission not just as an academic milestone, but as the start of something bigger.
A New Chapter on the Hill of Endless Possibilities
Known as the Hill of endless possibilities, Makerere remains one of Africa’s most prestigious institutions. For the freshers — some wide-eyed, others already plotting their next move — the Guild President’s words were both a challenge and a call to action.
Students have since responded with excitement, sharing pictures from orientation, registration queues, and the university’s iconic Freedom Square.
“We’re not just students, we’re future leaders,” one reply read.
As classes begin and the campus roars back to life, one thing is clear: the next chapter of Makerere’s legacy has begun — and its newest members are ready to write it.
