The ceremony commemorated the milestone of the university's 10th anniversary.

The vision was to establish a university where young people could receive quality education, develop their talents, acquire relevant knowledge and skills, and become responsible contributors to society. Today, KolaDaisi University stands as a testament to that vision.
The 10th Anniversary and 6th Convocation Ceremony of the university will mark the commencement of activities to celebrate a decade of academic excellence, institutional growth, and impact.
