It was a nostalgia filled evening yesterday at the Freedom Square as we held our Alumni Homecoming Dinner in celebration of #MakerereAt100.

Incase you missed it, here are the key highlights 👇🏾🧵

In her opening remarks, The Chairperson of the University Council, Mrs. @MagaraLorna reminded us that this was an evening of celebrating those memories, rekindling friendships and establishing new networks.

The Chancellor, Prof. Ezra Suruma tasked the institution to show its relevance & capacity to reach the people of Uganda by ensuring the knowledge and the research we do benefits the ordinary citizen. #MakerereAt100

.@ProfNawangwe on his part walked the audience through the history of the University. He mentioned that the institution opened its gates to the first 14 students in January 1922, the fee was 60 shillings, for day scholars and there were no resident students then. #MakerereAt100

Special thanks go to the day’s MC, @kasyate who not only smoothly carried us through the day’s program, but also cracked our ribs all evening. #MakerereAt100

We thank each one of our alumni who made time to come rekindle their university days with us. We invite you to continue moving with us on this journey as we celebrate #MakerereAt100.
