DGGCS Conducts orientation to its undergraduate/graduate students.
The Department of Geography, Goe-Informatics and Climatic Sciences-Makerere University conducted an orientation session to its admitted first year students at both undergraduate and graduate levels where they have been cautioned to approach University life with clear purpose and focus. Speaking at the departmental orientation on 13th August 2025, The Departmental Chair, Dr. Paul Mukwaya urged the students to set goals from the start of their academic journey and to work diligently to achieve them. “University life offers tremendous opportunities, but it also comes with freedoms that can easily lead you off course,” he cautioned. “Set your academic and personal goals early – understand why you are here, what you want to accomplish, and how you intend to achieve it.”
