CUEA Vice Chancellor Urges Graduates to Become Job Creators

Very Rev. Fr. Elias Omondi Opongo, SJ, urged graduates of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa to become innovators and job creators during the university's 45th graduation ceremony on Friday, October 23.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Vice Chancellor told the graduates that their education carries a responsibility to create opportunities for others, particularly for young people who did not attend university. Fr. Opongo advised students to focus on solving societal problems and acquiring new skills rather than only seeking employment that matches their specific degrees.

The Vice Chancellor, who is presiding over his first graduation since taking office, stated that success requires agility, creativity, adaptability, and digital relevance alongside academic performance.
