2018 2019 KovsieCyberSta Search
2017/2018 #KovsieCyberSta’s Thuli Molebalwa and Amu Mathebula.
The search for the next #KovsieCyberSta is on. We are looking for two vibrant presenters to  take over the reins from Thuli and Amu as the official UFS Social Media ambassadors.
 
The two outstanding candidates will hold the title of #KovsieCyberSta for a period of 12 months. As #KovsieCyberStas, they will cover events on and around campus, while filming and presenting short video clips to give fellow Kovsies some insight into these events on the UFS Social Media platforms.

At the end of their term, they will receive a recommendation letter and portfolio of their work to add to their show-reel.

The #KovsieCyberSta search will work according to the following simple steps: 

1. Candidates upload a 45-60-second audition video on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and tag the UFS while using #KovsieCyberSta. In your video, you must tell us why you should be the next #KovsieCyberSta.
2. You can also send your audition videos to socialmedia@ufs.ac.za. 
3. The Top Ten most impressive auditions will be shortlisted and posted on the UFS pages for public votes on 16 April 2018.
4. The Kovsie community will then decide through voting who gets to win and the winners will be announced on 23 April 2018.

Watch the video below for a quick demonstration on how to enter your audition video:

Large South African law firms such as Bowman Gilfillan, Adams & Adams, Naude’s and Symington & De Kock exhibited at this year’s Career Fair of the Faculty of Law. During the event, students and exhibitors were addressed by Prof. Jonathan Jansen, Vice-Chancellor and Rector. “Lift your ambition, study hard and aim high,” he told the students.

“Factors such as political loyalty and race should not matter to you as students, but rather passion and dedication for the field in which you will work. As students you should have a different work ethic. Work differently and work harder,” Prof. Jansen said.

Prof. Johan Henning, the Dean of the Faculty of Law said the higher admission requirements and mathematics as a compulsory subject means the calibre of law students at the university cannot easily be equalled. “We develop the best of the best here at the UFS,” he said.

Representatives of the law firms were impressed with the calibre of students at the Career Fair.
