Students’ Guild

The Muni University Students’ Guild, the Guild Government, takes up student issues with University management through the Office of the Dean of Students.

How the Guild works

Guild officials are elected by the student body: the Guild President and Vice President, the Guild Speaker and Deputy, the Secretary General and Deputy, ministers and Guild Representative Councillors (GRCs). During elections, students form their own parties within the University rather than align with national political parties. Two student representatives, one female and one male, sit on the University Council.

What the Guild does

• Orientation: Guild officials help new students find hostels and settle in during orientation week
• Freshers’ Ball: the annual event that marks the beginning of the academic year
• Sport: sports competitions and the University’s part in the Arua District Tournament
• Culture: the annual Cultural Gala, where students’ associations compete

Induction of the Guild Cabinet

The Guild Cabinet for 2025/2026 was inducted on 30 and 31 July 2025 in the University Council Hall on the Arua campus, at a two-day leadership programme organised by the Office of the Dean of Students under the theme “Forging the Future Together”.

The Dean of Students, Madam Stella Amandru, led the programme. The Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Affairs), Prof. Jacob Agea, spoke on the strategic role of student leadership, and the University Counsellor, Mr. Isaac Adroamabe, led sessions on mental health and value-based leadership. The Cabinet also covered financial management, servant leadership, protocol and communication, crisis response, self-confidence and the University's legal frameworks.

Students' associations competed at the Cultural Gala on 28 February 2026, during this Guild's term.
