Assoc. Prof. Milburga Atcero, Dean of the Faculty of Tourism, Hospitality & Languages received the prestigious honor of Knighthood of the Order of Academic Palms by the French government. This honorific distinction was given to Atcero in recognition of her extraordinary work, studies, and commitment to the Francophonie.
La Francophonie presents a strategic opportunity for Uganda and the East African Community (EAC) to embrace linguistic and cultural diversity while unlocking numerous educational, economic, and diplomatic benefits. With French increasingly becoming a key language in international communication, regional integration, and global commerce, recognizing its significance strengthens Uganda’s and the EAC’s position in the global arena.
