Last week was one for the history books! Throwing it back to a spectacular evening at the 2026 Zambia Business Awards (ZABA), where Open Window University was honoured for its contribution to the Zambian economy and its dedication to academic excellence.
We are exceptionally proud to share that we walked away with three major wins:
โ
University of the Year
โ
Zambia Top 100 Business Brands of the Year
โ
Vice Chancellor of the Year โ awarded to Prof. George Angelopulo in recognition of his dedicated leadership
A huge congratulations to our fellow winners who are also making meaningful contributions to our nation: M'kango Golfview Hotel , Termites Meat Suppliers , Orbis Zambia , Ddumba Investments and Construction Company Zambia Limited , Luapula Water Supply and Sanitation Company Limited , the Office of The Vice President - Zambia , and Solwezi Municipal Council . It was an honour to share the stage with such trailblazers!
As writers, journaling is an essential part of the writing and creative process. Our Literary Arts students had the opportunity to attend a creative journaling workshop where they learnt how to blend words with a visual vocabulary, finding their creative voice as artists.
Thank you for hosting our Literary Arts students.

These images capture more than just a ceremony. They represent the culmination of relentless dedication, rigorous study, and profound creative breakthroughs.
We had the incredible privilege of seeing 17 innovative thinkers achieve a significant milestone at Open Window University. From our foundational certificate achievers to our pioneering master's graduates, this cohort is stepping into the industry not just as artists but as leaders.
They are equipped with a serious academic foundation and are ready to make a real-world impact on Africaโs growing creative economy. The gravity of their achievement cannot be overstated, and we are incredibly proud of the legacy they are leaving behind.
