To our faculty and staff: let Mr. Kalimuzo’s values shape your professional conduct."
Prof Moses Muhwezi, Principal MUBS said Kalimuzo served with courage, humility and vision. Muhwezi wondered whether public institutions are still driven by purpose or lost in procedure.

“To Frank, education was never just about books and degrees, it was a sacred trust. He believed a university should not only sharpen the mind, but also shape the soul. He upheld academic excellence, yes, but more than that, he insisted that conscience must accompany credentials," Esther Kalimuzo said.
