RUSANGU University, an institution of higher learning operating in Monze which is ran by the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA), has secured a funding of about US$100, 000 to set up a radio and television studio.
The studio is aimed at enhancing the student learning experience and improve its communication with the public.
Rusangu University Vice Chancellor Pardon Mwansa said the studio, which would also broadcast spiritual and social programmes, was expected to be operational within a period of one year.
Dr Mwansa said students studying Journalism and Communication at his University would be able to have a practical aspect of their profession once the studio was set up.
He was speaking in Rusangu, Monze on Sunday in an interview during the 10th Graduation Ceremony for Rusangu University at which 472 students graduated from various fields.
“As part of our five year strategic plans under Public Relations, we intend to have a studio where we will be doing production for television and radio as well as internet.
“We already secured a funding of about US$100, 000 to help us pursue this aspect. The intention of the radio and television studio is to improve on student learning experience and our communication with the public,” he said.
Dr Mwansa, who was installed as Vice Chancellor during the ceremony, also expressed hope that his University would have a 24/7 channel on one of the digital platforms to disseminate information to the public.
And in his address during the graduation ceremony, Dr Mwansa said his University was growing fast going by the enrolments for this year and last year.
“We have enrolled 730 new students who have reported and we expect more than 300 new students in the September 2016 intake when we open school on September 1123.
“Rusangu can boast of being an international university as we have students from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya and Namibia among others,” he said.
Dr Mwansa also said plans were underway to construct two student hostels for men and women within a period of six months.
Speaking at the same event, Kenya’s University of Africa Vice Chancellor Delbert Baker urged graduating students to be hard-working and help to fight evil vices in society.
“I wish to remind you graduands to contribute to the fight against vices such as corruption, immorality, and drug abuse that have destroyed the moral fabric of your nation (Zambia).
“Coming from an Institution like Rusangu University, you must have a conscious to live by. You are the ambassadors of what Rusangu University stands for. If you will work hard and be diligent, you will make a difference. If you think you are too small to be effective, then you have never been in bed with a mosquito,” Dr Baker said.
Dr Mwansa and Dr Baker later led other dignitaries during the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of two student hostels at a cost of K10 million.

Way to go viva Rusangu, my former school we are proud of you
A Unioversity where I cant even see a WHite lecturer or student simplifies a dodgy University.
Stay away from this thing, people.
Thanks

Unfortunately its a sheer delight of wasting time and resources because the visionless PF of Lungu will close down all those facilities. Ask the post newspaper of Fred Mmembe, Muvi TV, Komboni and Itezhi Tezhi radio stations, respectively of how the PF of Edgar Lungu closed their enterprises.
PF doesn’t respect the constitution, rule of law and always against media freedom.
Mushota you have such a low esteem of yourself, such an astonishing inferiority complex. You remind me of a worm or a maggot
I thought the station was for the third angel evengelism which is the foundation of SDA but its for alas something else why?
It’ll be shut down by Museveni-wannabe tin-pot dictator, LUNGU.
You’ll just waste that $100k.
Use those facilities to spread the world of God, no politics please. It is the reason why there is no longer love in church but divisions
Lazy Lungu’s bootlickers at IBA will pull the plug on this one…you should have invested that in ICT and sport.
SO THUS A UNIVERSITY ???? PLEASE ITS A SHAME TO HAVE A STRUCTURE THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ABATTOIR NEAR MWANAMAINDA USED AS PODIUM FOR GRADUATION CEREMONY AND YET HH COMES FROM MONZE WHY HE CANNOT PUT A MODERN UNIVERSITY

MUSHOTA….whatever your name means….such thinking are of colonial era….There are a lot of foreign students even the members of the faCulty….Is it the colur you are concerned about or the qualifications that a person possesses…Mandela said “education is an equalizer in society”… Wise up my dear….Go to Rusangu university and you will be transformed..
