Rudi Buys, Dean: Student Affairs, presented his research proposal for a PhD (Higher Education Studies) to a panel of Higher Education specialists on Monday 16 May. Rudi reflected on the patterns of change in race knowledge of students on a post-conflict campus. Professors Jonathan Jansen and Rita Niemann are his internal study promoters.
