Victoria University held its second graduation last week, with the institution’s promoter and director Rajiv Ruparelia, challenging graduates to grab any opportunity that comes their way.
Speaking at the university’s second graduation at Kabira Country club, on Friday, Rajiv told the graduands that the world was full of opportunities waiting to be exploited.
The event saw 18 students receiving degrees, while a further two obtained diplomas. University Council chairman David Byatike Matovu challenged the graduands to become the university’s ambassadors.
“I have challenged you to go out and become our shining stars. You are our ambassadors,” he said. “Avoid pitfalls of corruption, criminal behavior, negligence and regression. Aim at growing professionally.”
He also commended the Ruparelia group of companies for its contribution to the economy. Jiwani Miriam received the best student award after scoring a grade point average of 4.8, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Public Health. She says she is looking forward to the diversity of opportunities that public health offers.
She says she is passionate about youth health and innovation and is a firm believer in their potential.
