As the acting Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the UFS, I would like to extend a personal thank you to the donors and partners of the University, for your generous contributions and continued support.

We expect that the recruitment of the substantive Vice-Chancellor and Principal will be completed early in 2025, with the incumbent joining the UFS in the first half of 2025.

In the meantime, supported by a stable and experienced senior leadership team, I am honoured to fulfil the role.

It has been encouraging to experience the goodwill of so many who wish to assist and be part of the work of the University. I assure you that the UFS will continue its solid trajectory and that, with your advocacy and support, we will continue to be a resource for the communities we serve.

Thank you for your interest in our work, our students, and our institution.
