Fifty years ago, visionaries in health care established a research forum. Today, the
Faculty of Health Sciences celebrates all researchers who have shared their work during the past five decades.
On 30 and 31 August 2018, the Faculty Research Forum will once again be characterised by high-quality presentations, covering a range of relevant topics – a couple of which will receive awards at the conclusion of the forum. Attendees can also view and engage with exhibitors.

New first-year students welcomed at the UFS
The Acting Rector and Vice Chancellor of the University of the Free State (UFS), Prof. Teuns Verschoor, has welcomed the new first-year students during a ceremony on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein today.
“This new experience is an opportunity to not only make your own decisions but to develop and grow as a person. Make your mark, don’t leave a stain,” he said.
Mr Eric Bost, Ambassador of the United States of America (USA) to South Africa, also addressed the students and their parents.
“This is an opportunity to acquire knowledge and to make a positive difference in your lives and the lives of others,” he said.
He also urged students not to judge people on their ignorance of a view but to asses others based on their character and abilities.
