What Our Graduates Are Doing
U-Can graduates continue to pursue university, sport, leadership, and professional pathways in Canada and beyond — carrying with them the confidence, independence, and academic preparation built during their time at school.
I am currently a second-year student at St. Thomas University in Canada, pursuing a double major in Human Rights and Sustainability & Environmental Studies. I am happy to be on the Dean’s List.
Since graduating from U-Can, I’ve begun my first year at university. Looking back, the support and preparation I received from U-Can played a big role in helping me reach this point.
I play volleyball professionally in Uganda’s National Women’s League and have competed in tournaments in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Italy. This year I am joining Western University in Ontario, Canada.
