He became saved in the 1940s. Rukare joined Makerere University in 1961 as a member of staff for the development of curriculum in the School of Education and served the university devotedly. \nFrom 1962 to 1964\, Rukare was posted as a resident tutor in the department of extra-neural studies at Makerere University College in Northern Uganda. He was re-appointed to the same position in July 1972. A year later he was appointed the Head of the Department of Education. He quickly rose through the ranks and was made professor in 1975. \nRukare was the Dean of the School of Education from 1976 to 1979. He also acted as the University Dean of students.  He retired from Makerere University in 1992 but returned to serve on the University Council. \nAccording to the First Chancellor and Chairman of the Diocesan Synod Bishop Elisha Kyamugambi\, in the year 2002\, the Synod of Ankole Diocese resolved to start a University in Kakoba\, Mbarara called Bishop Stuart University. He was charged with the task to look for the Professor to work as the Vice-Chancellor and four professors were approached but none of them turned up. Since a professor was a key requirement for the start of the University\, Prof. Rukare agreed to become a Vice-Chancellor for the newly established BSU. He served from 2002 to 2004. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n About Prof. Enoka Rukare\n 1 file(s) 428.85 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Program - Prof. Rukare Public Lecture\n 1 file(s) 225.89 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Event Poster - Prof. Enoka Rukare Public Lecture\n 1 file(s) 1.15 MB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Vice-Chancellor’s Remarks on Prof. Enoka Rukare Public Lecture\n 1 file(s) 173.86 KB\n \n \n Download URL:https://www.bsu.ac.ug/event/prof-enoka-rukare-public-lecture/ LOCATION:Bishop Stuart University\, Kakoba\, Mbarara\, Western\, Uganda CATEGORIES:7th BSU Week,BSUAt20,Featured,Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bsu.ac.ug/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Prof.-Enoka-Lukare-VC-addressing-the-meeting-during-the-inauguration-of-the-first-University-Council-2002_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bishop Stuart University":MAILTO:info.bsu.ac.ug GEO:-0.6068785;30.7004932 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bishop Stuart University Kakoba Mbarara Western Uganda;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Kakoba:geo:30.7004932,-0.6068785 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Kampala:20220505T140000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Kampala:20220505T180000 DTSTAMP:20260525T002608 CREATED:20220425T061225Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230320T102226Z UID:10002759-1651759200-1651773600@www.bsu.ac.ug SUMMARY:Public Lecture - 17th Graduation DESCRIPTION:Bishop Stuart University will hold a Public Lecture on 5th May 2022 ahead of the 17th Graduation Ceremony scheduled for 6th May 2022. \nThe presenter will be Prof. John Mugisha\, the Vice-Chancellor\, Cavendish University and the discussant will be Mr. Herbert Mugumya\, the Senior Regional Director\, Population Action International (PAI) \nThe expected gathering to be addressed includes among others academia\, heads of academic institutions\, business community\, political leaders and civil servants. \nTheme: Higher Education in Uganda’s growth and challenges management in post Covid-19 era. \nVenue: Main Hall \nTime: 2:00pm – 6:00pm URL:https://www.bsu.ac.ug/event/public-lecture/ LOCATION:Bishop Stuart University\, Kakoba\, Mbarara\, Western\, Uganda CATEGORIES:BSUAt20,Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bsu.ac.ug/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Public-Lecture-held_11-‎October-‎2018-14th-Graduation.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bishop Stuart University":MAILTO:info.bsu.ac.ug GEO:-0.6068785;30.7004932 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bishop Stuart University Kakoba Mbarara Western Uganda;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Kakoba:geo:30.7004932,-0.6068785 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Kampala:20220212T100000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Kampala:20220212T130000 DTSTAMP:20260525T002608 CREATED:20220209T145002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230127T195436Z UID:10002815-1644660000-1644670800@www.bsu.ac.ug SUMMARY:Public Lecture on Christian Ethics DESCRIPTION:Bishop Stuart University has organised a public lecture intended to address students and the entire Bishop Stuart University community on matters of Christian ethics on Saturday\, 12th February 2022.
