Story Jóhann Thormählen
Alumni from the University of the Free State (UFS) are making their mark locally and internationally.
The UFS is committed to keeping its alumni informed, engaged, and connected with each other and their alma mater.
In 2021, the university hosted international and local events, webinars, reunions, and celebrated many achievements as part of these endeavours.
International connections
COVID-19 made us rethink our identity and citizenship. Expert voices from around the world were invited by Prof Francis Petersen, UFS
Rector and Vice-Chancellor, to reconsider these views in a webinar series.
In partnership with the South African Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom (UK), the ‘
Courageous Conversations’ was launched on the theme of ‘The Global Citizen’.
A UK Alumni Connect evening was hosted in London, where Lord Peter Hain was the guest of honour. The UFS met old and new friends and alumni, promoting UFS and South African interests abroad.
UFS Sporting Legends project
There is nothing like a proper reunion with old friends. Seeing former familiar faces, catching up, and sharing stories about the days gone by.
Whether you scored goals on the soccer field, kicked conversions at Shimla Park, served aces on the tennis court, made centuries at the cricket oval, or won a netball title in the
Callie Human Centre.
Perhaps you ran thousands of laps at Pellies Park or made the UFS proud on the hockey astro. You are part of a special
sports family.
We invite you to become part of the
UFS alumni sporting community and celebrate those fond memories or even reconnect with those your shared the field with.
The UFS Sporting Legends project provides a platform to share special stories and memories, whether it is via pictures or telling a tale.
