The Directorate: Community Engagement will be virtually celebrating the launch of the new E-Engaged Scholarship Strategy on 10 December 2020. 

Most of the face-to-face community engagement activities could not take place this year due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic and related physical distancing restrictions. Therefore, an E-Engaged Scholarship Strategy has been developed as an adapted virtual participatory learning environment in collaboration with our community, business, and government partners. This E-Engaged Scholarship Strategy seeks to make information accessible to communities through dialogue on engaged learning, training, and research for citizens to take actively part in developing their own lives and that of their surrounding communities. 


Details of the launch:

Date: 10 December 2020

Time: 16:00 (CAT)

Platform: Microsoft Teams

Merridy Wilson-Strydom

Merridy Wilson-Strydom, Assistant-Director in the Directorate for Institutional Research and Academic Planning (DIRAP) at the University of the Free State (UFS), was named joint winner of the Best Paper Award at the EAIR Valencia Forum 2010 that was held in Valencia, Spain.

EAIR, The European Higher Education Society, is probably globally the largest and strongest association for institutional research at the moment. EAIR is offering the opportunity for young (under 35) professionals and academics working in universities, polytechnics and other higher education institutions to win the “EAIR Best Paper Award”.

The paper was written as part of an accepted proposal for the EAIR annual Forum and is titled Traversing the Chasm from School to University in South Africa: A student perspective.
