On Friday, 11th April, 2025, staff members of the National University of Lesotho (NUL) from both the Roma and Institute of Extra-Mural Studies (IEMS) campuses came together in a spirit of unity and solidarity to participate in a series of sporting activities held in celebration of the University’s 80th anniversary.
The vibrant sports festivities commenced with a fun walk from Ha Basiane, located outside the Roma campus, to the Netherlands Hall. These activities followed the official launch of the NUL 80th Anniversary celebrations, which took place on 08th April 2025 at the Roma campus and was graced by His Majesty King Letsie III, the NUL Chancellor.
