Rev. Dr. Pius Rutechura, the outgoing Vice Chancellor of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) has urged his successor Prof. Justus Mbae to safeguard the institutional identity and reputation of the university in order to promote the vision of the founding Fathers and maintain the AMECEA spirit of CUEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cPromote our identity; overcome ethnic and other divisive tendencies and destructive politicking,\u201d Msgr. Rutechura urged.<\/p>\n

He further said that the University needs turn around strategies in order to stay afloat and excel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is openness and focusing on addressing root causes rather than throwing blames on others that will help CUEA to move forward,\u201d he said adding that it is crucial to mobilize all stakeholders to urgently mobilize resource available. \u201cIt is crucial to reduce stress and neutralize apathy and anxieties so as to strengthen the base of moving forward with hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the same time he urged Prof. Mbae to leverage ICT for Academic and Operational Systems of the University. \u201cAccuracy of data which is an important tool in planning and development, highly depends on having a reliable integrated system. I salute the new zeal and innovative steps that the new DVCs are bringing in to address this issue,\u201d he said adding that CUEA needs positive enhancement of embracing the ICT Culture across board.<\/p>\n

\u201cI salute and encourage the DVC Academic Affairs and Research in forming the CUEA ICT Solutions Consortium which brings on board both staff and students. This is the way to go; this is the path for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also urged Prof. Mbae to enhance corporate leadership and responsibility through operating on basis of policies and procedures. \u201cPrevailing situations in CUEA demand nurturing across board leadership that operates on basis of policies and procedures that are set by Council and other regulatory bodies within Catholic Education Tradition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rev. Dr. Rutechura who has been given another assignment by his Bishop of the Diocese of Bukoba in Tanzania, said, “He looks back with gratitude and forward with hope having served AMECEA Institutions for 11 years, six of which as the Secretary General of AMECEA and five as Vice Chancellor of CUEA.”
\n\u201cI firmly believe that tough battles that are bravely fought for the sake of the Kingdom, will always lead to bearing good fruits for the growth of God\u2019s Kingdom. CUEA has a long history, CUEA has a future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He thanked AMECEA Executive Board and the University Council for arriving at the important decision of appointing a new Vice Chancellor with a view of ensuring that there is no vacuum in leadership of the University.<\/p>\n

\u201cI congratulate the incoming leader, \u00a0Prof. Mbae for accepting to shoulder this responsibility. This appointment is not a privilege as many might perceive; it is a call to duty whereby you will have to go an extra mile in providing leadership for this august institution,\u201d he said adding that “During his tenure as the Vice Chancellor, CUEA has witnessed a number of achievements including a vibrant chaplaincy which has boosted the Catholic identity within campus ministry as evidenced in lively spiritual movements, liturgical activities, and celebration of sacraments, recollections, retreats and pilgrimages.”<\/p>\n

He further said that CUEA has also succeeded in intensifying and upgrading its quality of networking as evidenced in MOUs that have been signed and subsequent joint ventures in terms of research, academic programs, exchange of staff and students.<\/p>\n
