As the University gears up to celebrate its 25th Graduation, Nkumba University news delves into the institution’s story that spans nearly three decades.
The story starts at a fateful meeting on Tuesday 29th July, 1951.
A shared dream sprouted in the minds of Ssalongo Kintu, a local merchant driven by the desire to illuminate his community through education.
In the quiet corners of his home, he, along with like-minded friends Charles Kisitu Ffulu and Zefania Mpanga settled on a plan to plant the seeds of knowledge, and in the year 1952 a kindergarten was established, a fragile beginning akin to nurturing a sapling into a towering tree.
With only twelve pupils, they embarked on a journey that would shape the future of countless lives.
With time, the tiny sapling kindergarten branched out into a primary school, and then a senior secondary school. In 1969, it transformed into a vocational institute, and by 1974, it bore the name Nkumba College of Commerce and Advanced Studies.
Through dedication and commitment to academic excellence, the institution found its place in the hearts of the local community becoming a University in 1994.
Today, Nkumba University stands as one of the oldest private institutions having attained a charter in 2006.
Since its inception, the institution has positioned itself as a one-stop center for high-quality education and research within the country and beyond.
To expand its reach, the University opened up another campus in 2015 to deliver education to the people of Kampala, the Capital City of Uganda.
One of the jewels in Nkumba’s crown is the Institute of Nursing and Midwifery, established in 2018. Here, students embark on a transformative journey, learning not just the science but also the art of healthcare. With hands-on experience through clinical rotations and practical training, they step into the world equipped with knowledge and compassion, ready to assist women through the sacred journey of childbirth.
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, Nkumba University remains at the forefront, embracing technology to blend the traditional classroom setting with E-learning teaching methods.
As the institution prepares to commemorate the 25th cohort of graduates, it is poised, not just to celebrate the past but to illuminate the future.
