Her presence in the classroom was met with excitement and enthusiasm from the students, who were eager to learn from her vast experience and insights.

“Teaching brings me great joy, as it’s my passion. By engaging directly with students, I hope to inspire and motivate my colleagues in the education sector to work diligently toward producing outstanding doctors.” Prof.Byakika

Dr. Edwin Nuwagira, senior researcher, physician, and lecturer, expressed his delight: “It’s good to have a senior administrator involved in actual teaching. We feel supported and encouraged.”

Dr. Joseph Ngonzi, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, emphasized the importance of such involvement: “Having the Vice Chancellor teach students is extraordinary. In my position as the Faculty Dean, I am humbled that she found time to engage the students. This gives her a chance to get closer to students and understand them better. She will also appreciate the challenges of the teaching staff as we deliver content to our most esteemed students” said Ngonzi.

Dr. Emmanuel Munyarugyero,Chairperson of the MUST teaching staff, shared his thoughts: “Scheduling her for some lectures of her interest and student assessments would be very good. She can actually appreciate more our work environment and work ethic.”

Dr. Grace Kansiime,Head of the Internal Medicine Department, added: “Having the VC in the teaching environment is good for the system because she gets to understand what is on the ground, particularly the challenges. We hope and believe she will understand, and this will translate to improved learning conditions and services for patients.”

Agaba Stewart, a third-year medical student, described the experience as an incredible opportunity: “Being taught by Professor Pauline felt like a unique experience that left a lasting impression. She had a way of making every student feel involved and important, creating an atmosphere of respect and curiosity. Her passion for education was evident, and it made me feel more eager to learn and strive for excellence.”

Prof. Byakika-Kibwika’s lecture was not only an educational experience but also an inspiring one for both students and faculty. Her direct involvement in teaching underscores the importance of hands-on leadership and a deep commitment to fostering an engaging learning environment. The students and faculty look forward to more such opportunities in the future, as they continue to benefit from her expertise and dedication.
