Cross-country students visit Uganda

When someone walks into student developmental specialist Tim Kennedy’s office, they will see photos on the wall from some of his trips to Uganda.

This was how cross-country freshman Martin Lopez discovered Kennedy’s work with the Musana Community Development Organization.

“When I took my recruiting visit to UTA I met with Tim and I saw pictures on his wall from some of his trips,” Lopez said. “When he told me about it in the recruiting visit I was really intrigued by it, and yeah, I ended up coming to UTA.”

Kennedy said the purpose of the organization is to help develop the rural communities in Uganda and empowering its members to be more self-sufficient.
