The term of office of the current Chancellor, Dr Khotso Mokhele (who has served two consecutive terms), will expire on 03 June 2020. The University has therefore commenced with the process of nominations for the election of a new Chancellor, who will assume duties on 04 June 2020, for a period of five years.
 
Council, at its meeting held on 14 June 2019, established an Ad-hoc Committee, inclusive of representatives from University stakeholders, to facilitate the process of the nominations for the election of a Chancellor. The Ad-hoc Committee will consider all the nominations and  submit its recommendation to Council, for consideration and decision, on the advice of the Institutional Forum.
 
In terms of the Statute of the University, only Council members may submit nominations. Members of the University community (staff, students and Alumni) who wish to submit a nomination must familiarise themselves with the requirements for the position and submit any nomination via members of Council.
 
Please note that the closing date for nominations to be submitted to the office of the Registrar is Friday, 30 December 2019 at 16:30. Late or incomplete nominations will not be accepted or considered.
 
Kindly contact the Registrar at registrar@ufs.ac.za should you require any further information or clarity.

Arts Festival Rally promises to be great fun
2009-05-20

The annual Amazing Rainbow Rally, presented by the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health and UFS Marketing, will take place on Friday, 17 July 2009 during the Volksblad Arts Festival on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein.

This year all the checkpoints will be on the campus and around the Arts Festival grounds. Corporate companies in Bloemfontein and departments at the UFS may still enter teams and checkpoints.

The closing date for entering teams is 26 June 2009. A team consists of two team members who must work together to complete a route with various checkpoints. The team, who finishes first after having successfully completed all the tasks, is the winner. Last year, Dr I Babst en Dr L Solomon from the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health were the winners of the Rally.

The closing date for entering a checkpoint is 17 June 2009. Teams must complete tasks at every checkpoint before proceeding to the next checkpoint. The company sponsoring the checkpoint will also be responsible for handling the activity at the checkpoint.

The “Arts Festival” Rally promises to challenge teams physically, mentally and even artistically. Festival goers will also have the opportunity to see what teams get up to and how their favourite team is doing.

The Rally will be presented for the fifth time in 2009. The main goal of this year’s Rally is to raise funds for the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health’s “Beds of Hope Campaign”. This campaign seeks to increase the number of intensive care beds in the paediatric and neonatal wards. Currently around 250 children and babies in central South Africa cannot receive the life-saving care they need because of a lack of facilities.
