Write for the UFS Student Newsletter

The Department of Corporate Communication and Marketing is appealing to all students to keep their ear to the ground in a quest to find interesting, thought-provoking student-related information to publish in the Student Newsletter

Students can write stories, produce videos, and supply photographs or pictures that will be published in the Newsletter, which is the official student-central, online, digital media publication of the UFS.  

Content can range from anything related to university sport, interesting student seminars, presentations, and reports or commentary on various events taking place on the Bloemfontein, Qwaqwa, or South campuses of the UFS.

Articles must be written in English, with a headline of no more than nine words and a word count of 120. A JPEG photograph of good quality with a photo credit should accompany each article submitted. Should students wish to hand in videos accompanying their stories, they should consult Barend Nagel on NagelBJ@ufs.ac.za for more information. Stories will be selected for the Newsletter according to the relevance and importance of their content.

This communication platform has specifically been established to communicate important and interesting information, events, and activities from Kovsie to Kovsie, across the entire UFS student population. Students are urged to take initiative, and engage with one another, and the overall institutional realm of communication in South Africa. For more information, please email Xolisa Mnukwa on MnukwaX@ufs.ac.za

 23 August 2013

The Office for International Affairs (OIA) hosted a coffee hour get-together on the Bloemfontein Campus. Louise Steyn, an officer at the OIA, describes the coffee hour initiative as one that aims to acknowledge and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures among our students

The Lesotho Student Association (LESA) used this opportunity to share the beauty of their country. “I’m very proud of the first coffee hour. I hope that a year from now we can have it at Shimla Park so that the entire student community can acknowledge it,” says Louise.

Coffee hours of a similar nature will be offered on a monthly basis. They will be hosted by the students from the various different countries represented at Kovsies.
