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

More than 4 200 first-year students are enrolled in the core curriculum UFS101 at the UFS this year, doubling the number of students in 2012. The course has been specially designed to equip students with a social and intellectual advantage in addition to their specialist degrees. This year about 150 students on the Qwaqwa Campus are taking part in a pilot programme of UFS101 and there is a possibility that it will also be presented in Kimberley from 2014. Students have the opportunity to be lectured by top “lecturers”. One of them, Judge Cagney J (front row, left), Judge of the Free State High Court, lectured on the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa Campuses in March 2013.
