What are you four top concerns about the Guild today and how do you hope to address them?
Lack of a long term development strategic plan for the guild to steadily and progressively develop and benefit its stakeholders
Un harmonized and developed Guild scholarship fund to help students who are need of it.

No progressive projects for income generation as way of widening guild's resource base to run activities of the secretariat
Lack of programme for students' leadership development and capacity building. All students are leaders regardless of their courses. The guild needs to identify leadership experts to equip students with cutting adage leadership and management skills.
How to address them
  Put a five (5) year Guild Development strategic plan in place
Harmonize, improve and widely develop Guild Scholarship fund to benefit a wide range of students who needs it.
Improve on the existing Guild projects and initiate new ones for income generation
Put in place leadership development and capacity building programmes for all students. Guild certificates should be issued to students who participate in this.
Put in place Modern, and descent Guild Secretariat with mordent offices, board rooms and conference halls to enable guild officials serve their constituencies effectively
How do you hope to fulfill student's aspirations and also maintain UCU identity even when the two may at times clash?
Through research, carrying out students' needs assessment, dialogue and consultation of purposes for reaching a win- win compromise.
What use do you think the Guild is to the administration, students and neighbouring community?
The guild government should be a bridge between administration and students, a students' voice to the university governing bodies and should carry out sensitization programmes in communities.
How do you hope to grow the Guild's resources to offer better services?
Have clear long term guild development strategic plan that will have sections for resource mobilization.
Writing project proposals and selling them to potential funding bodies using the contact that we already have and seeking the new ones.

Profile

An old broom that knows every corner of the house!
  Perhaps that’s the best way of describing Shedrack Musinguzi, one of this year’s Guild presidential hopefuls.
    Bettering the Guild secretariat; drawing it closer to the students’ fraternity and becoming a pillar of advocacy are some of the reasons that compelled the second year Divinity student to run for the top most students’ job.
    “I am here to leave the students better than I have got them,” vowed Musinguzi adding that “If students ever thought of a student leader who would change their plight for the better, then here I am.”
     Musinguzi says his goal has always been to make a significant contribution to the lives of many and this, he says, becoming the next Guild boss will give him an upper hand to achieve by “filling” the leadership vacuum in the students’ Guild.
     Born 36 years ago to, the late Yowasi Kashaija and Edinah Kashaija in Kiruhura District, Musinguzi is the seventh born in a family of eleven.
      He sat for his PLE in 1990 at Kitamba Primary School, Mbarara before joining Kilembe Mines SS in Kasese from where he did his O’level in 1997. Later he joined Bujaga Boys SS in Mbarara for his A’ level.
      The year 1997 saw Musinguzi enroll at UCU for his first bachelor’s degree in Education with a bias in History and Divinity. He immediately got a teaching job after his graduation in 2000 at Bugamba SS in Mbarara.
      So, what more would students want from their next Guild president other than such an experienced man who has also worked before as Programs and Ministry Manager at Uganda Christian Teacher’s Association before assuming the national coordination office.
      In 2006, he went to USA and studied a certificate in Christian leadership at Hagai Leadership Institute. A year later he returned and enrolled for a second degree in Divinity at UCU.
     Now, he is here to challenge for the top students’ office.
     If you meet Musinguzi you may notice he has a ring on his finger, it’s not for decoration, it symbolizes his marriage to his dear wife Tinah Musinguzi. The couple has two children.
