All degrees were conferred by our Chancellor, Patricia L. Campbell. “You have completed your studies, and you, your family, friends, lecturers, and mentors are proud of your achievements,” she said at #URGraduation2026. She also encouraged graduates to make the most of their opportunities, keep learning, and use their knowledge to improve the lives of their families, communities, and country.

“Do not just wait for opportunities; use your knowledge and creativity to create them.” @Rwanda_Edu Minister Joseph Nsengimana challenged nearly 5,000 graduates at #URGraduation2026 to turn their knowledge into practical solutions, create opportunities for themselves and others, and contribute to Rwanda’s development. He reminded them that true success is measured not only by personal achievement, but also by the positive difference they make in people’s lives.

Addressing the congregation at #URGraduation2026, our Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kayihur Didas, urged graduates to step into the world with pride in UR’s name and legacy. “The world is changing at a breathtaking pace, driven by rapid technological shifts. Do not fear this change; lead it. Adapt and readapt, upskill, and always strive to stay relevant,” he said. He also encouraged graduates to turn their learning into practical solutions and drive innovation in their communities.
