SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Stephen Rulisa: Reading from The Path Less Travelled
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 9th\, 2025 at 1:30 PM for a special reading with Dr. Stephen Rulisa\, visiting professor and clinician from Rwanda\, as he shares passages from his new memoir\, The Path Less Travelled. \nDr. Rulisa’s story traces an extraordinary journey—from a nomadic childhood and the hardships of refugee life to becoming a leading voice in medical academia. Orphaned at a young age\, he assumed the role of head of his household\, pursued education against all odds\, and played an active role in Rwanda’s liberation through the Rwandan Patriotic Front movement. His path led him to medical school\, and ultimately\, to shaping the future of medical education in Rwanda. \nPart biography\, part philosophy\, and part call to action\, The Path Less Travelled reflects on resilience\, discipline\, and personal responsibility as the true drivers of success. Rulisa’s reflections speak to young people starting their journey\, those seeking to change course\, and anyone striving to build a purposeful life—one decision at a time. \n\n\n\n\nAt this event\, Dr. Rulisa will share selected passages from his book\, followed by an audience Q&A. \nCopies of The Path Less Travelled will be available for purchase at the event (limited supply)\, and we’ll be raffling off one copy to a lucky attendee. You can also purchase the book online here. \nThis is a free event but please register for your spot \, as space is limited. Food and drinks will be provided for registered guests. \nAbout the author:\nDr. Stephen Rulisais a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology\, with a PhD in public health focused on malaria. He is a seasoned clinical researcher with over 18 years of experience in epidemiology and public health\, particularly in reproductive health\, and has a strong interest in health systems strengthening. \nHe has led and collaborated on numerous research projects\, both within Rwanda and in international\, multicenter studies. Currently\, he serves as a clinician and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rwanda and holds adjunct appointments at several international universities. \nAttend here!
