 Besides achieving her ultimate goal in Kampala, Chol is thankful to KIU for greatly transforming her life.

"KIU has changed my life greatly. I have learnt how to lead people, socialize with students from different backgrounds as well as express myself freely," she noted.

Tabitha Chol was one of the most influential students' leaders at KIU while serving as President of the KIU South Sudan Students Association (2023-2024).

After graduation, Chol is shifting her focus towards helping her Country establish a healthy relationship with the rest of the World.
