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

Transformers in Action

2012-06-15

The afternoon was filled with fun, games and food as the Transformers spent time chatting and catching up.

The HIV and AIDS Office peer educators, a group of students also known as the Transformers, were treated to a braai by the HIV and Aids office last month. This was in recognition of the hard work and commitment they showed while fulfilling their academic obligations during the first semester.

To date, the Transformers have been involved in the STI Campaign week, the First Things First testing campaign, on both the Bloemfontein and South Campuses and the screening of the documentary film ‘Taking Haart’. They also have ongoing mentoring sessions every Friday that are facilitated by Tarryn Nell from the HIV and Aids office.
