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

The Faculty of Theology has handed over a cheque of R4 300 to the No Student Hungry campaign. Prof. Francois Tolmie, the Dean of the faculty, says it is important to him and his staff that students do not go hungry. The amount is made up of donations from staff in the faculty.

René Pelser from Student Affairs, who handed over the cheque, says the university’s aim is to collect 200 000 “bites” this year (a “bite” equals one meal for a student). Others on campus who have contributed are Veritas and Accommodation Services. Kovsie Culture is to launch projects to collect funds.

Staff, faculties and departments can contact René on x9087 if they want to contribute to the NSH campaign.
