St John’s University of Tanzania, an Anglican national university held its first graduation in Dodoma on November 6, 2010. The Chancellor of the University, former Archbishop Donald Mtetemela officiated  at the ceremony. Bishop Mwita and other trustees attended the historic occasion. As former General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Tanzania, Bishop Mwita was deeply involved in the planning and eventual establishment of St John’s University of Tanzania in Dodoma. He then became a member of the University Council and the Senate before becoming its Trustees after his election as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Tarime. Bishop Mwita could therefore not miss this historic occasion.
