An extraordinary life has come to an end. Makerere University has been a major beneficiary of scholarships and research grants from the Association of Commonwealth Universities of which Queen Elizabeth II was the Patron. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family, the British people and the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU).
