Alice Asio: At the Front Line

By: Daphne Bukirwa & Rose Clarke

I was recently invited to be among the 18 Vice Chancellors to meet the Minister of Education and Sports to discuss strategies for re-opening Universities. Before the meeting, we were all asked to get a Covid test. On July 7th, I turned up at KIU where the testing was taking place. After registration, I sat down to have the test. A health worker I could not recognize due to the fact that they were in full Covid-19 protective gear approached and greeted me. “Hello VC” the lady said! I know I am not everyone’s VC and I knew immediately it was one of our own students or alumni.
