By Frank Kamuntu

Victoria University Vice Chancellor Prof. Lawrence Muganga has been honoured as the face of the newly released Destiny magazine, a recognition that further highlights his growing international profile in conversations around artificial intelligence, innovation and the future of education.

Prof Muganga could not hold the joy; “I am deeply honoured to be the face of the newly released Destiny magazine, now distributed around the world.”

The recognition comes as artificial intelligence continues to transform the education sector, creating new opportunities and challenges for universities, educators and learners globally.

Prof Muganga has emerged as a strong advocate for embracing innovation and technology in education, particularly the integration of artificial intelligence into modern learning and teaching.

In his message, Prof Muganga expressed appreciation to Kingdom Lifestyle Magazine, Canada, and Destiny Harvest, Canada, for finding him worthy of the honour and for recognising his contribution.

“My sincere appreciation goes to Kingdom Lifestyle Magazine, Canada, and Destiny Harvest, Canada, for finding me worthy of this honour and for the recognition,” he said.

He also thanked Mr. Moses Mawa and SilverTrust Media for their support and for creating platforms that promote conversations about artificial intelligence and education.

“I would also like to thank Mr. Moses Mawa and SilverTrust Media for their support and for creating platforms that bring meaningful conversations around AI and education to the forefront,” Muganga added.

The magazine recognition places Prof Muganga in an international spotlight at a time when African universities are increasingly being challenged to rethink traditional approaches to higher education and prepare students for an increasingly technology-driven world.

His leadership at Victoria University has been closely associated with innovation, technology and efforts to position the institution as a forward-looking centre of higher education.

For Muganga, the latest milestone is also an opportunity to acknowledge the role of faith in his journey.

“Above all, I thank God for His grace and for always keeping me in His arms. I am truly grateful for every opportunity, every milestone, and every blessing along the way,” he said.

The recognition has also been warmly received by Victoria University, which praised Muganga for his leadership and his role in keeping the institution at the forefront of innovation and change in education.

“We are proud to have you as our Vice Chancellor! You always help us take a lead in every innovation or change in education. Thank you!” the university said in a message celebrating him.

With artificial intelligence increasingly influencing classrooms, research and the wider skills economy, Muganga’s recognition comes as a timely acknowledgement of the growing importance of African voices in shaping the global conversation on the future of education.
