Discussed also was the JRYC end-of-year party. This will be a dinner between JRYC-R side members and our Japanese friends currently studying at PIASS – Huye and all other Japanese people around. Date is set on the evening of Friday, May 12th, 2018.

On the agenda of the dinner, we will have an opportunity to officially express our gratitude to the outgoing committee, JRYC members who are graduating this summer and students who will be allocated to new campuses next year, for their immense contribution to JRYC activities all this year round. We will also have time to set new aims for next year. We will also have time to connect with our Japanese friends there present.

New year, New campuses, Same JRYC!

(Photo credit: www.ur.ac.rw) On October 9, 2017, all students of the University of Rwanda (UR), JRYC members included, commenced the 2017/2018 academic year. It was a big day at all colleges as many students gathered to know more of their new campuses. Weeks ago, there has been restructuring of the UR which resulted into many colleges being merged to form one, others being relocated to new campuses. Consequently, some of JRYC members are no longer in Huye campus. Some went to Nyarugenge, Gikondo and Remera campuses (all in Kigali city) and others went to Busogo campus (Northern province). These changes though will not affect much the way JRYC operates. Eventhough we are no longer in the same campus, we are still one group!

All these will help us shape a JRYC open to the real world, a J...
