The UFS launches E-Engaged Scholarship Strategy

08 December 2020 | Story Dr Nitha Ramnath

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

Johan Fourie received his B.Acc. Hons. degree on Thursday 29 March 2012. Johan, who has multiple sclerosis, said he had had enough of studying for now. He joined the firm HRV Consulting Services Incorporated in Bloemfontein as a clerk this year and hoped to complete his apprenticeship during the next three years.

Regarding the greatest challenge during his years of study, Johan said it was a lot of work and very little time. When asked about the accessibility of classrooms, he said if a classroom was inaccessible, his lecturers would make a plan to move the class to another venue.

Here he is with Prof. Hendri Kroukamp, the Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, and his very proud mother, Mrs Annatjie Fourie.
