A Place to Belong—Where Identity, Culture, and Purpose Meet
University is more than assignments and lectures. For many students at AfRU, real connection happens in the smaller spaces—during a fellowship meeting with people who speak your mother tongue, at a gathering to support a fellow student, or around a shared table during a cultural celebration.
That’s what student clubs and associations are about here. They’re not just social spaces—they’re a home base.
Student Associations: Built Around Identity & Culture
Here are just a few of the active associations on campus:
- South Sudan Students Association
- Bunyoro-Kitara Students Association
- Eastern Uganda Students Association
- International Students Association
- Central Region Students Association
- Bamasaba Association
Clubs on Campus
Alongside the associations are clubs built around shared interests and causes. These are more open-ended, often drawing students from all backgrounds who are passionate about the same things.
One of the most active is the Afro Rotaract Club, which brings students together around service, leadership, and community development. Other internal clubs vary each year depending on student interest—but all are student-initiated and supported by the Student Life team.
What These Groups Really Do
They welcome students who might otherwise feel lost. They organize birthday fundraisers for someone whose family is far away. They pool together transport to visit a sick friend. They host prayer nights and debate forums and music showcases. They remind students: You don’t have to do this alone.
