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

Celebrating cultural diversity through coffee hour

2013-08-23

23 August 2013

The Office for International Affairs (OIA) hosted a coffee hour get-together on the Bloemfontein Campus. Louise Steyn, an officer at the OIA, describes the coffee hour initiative as one that aims to acknowledge and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures among our students

The Lesotho Student Association (LESA) used this opportunity to share the beauty of their country. “I’m very proud of the first coffee hour. I hope that a year from now we can have it at Shimla Park so that the entire student community can acknowledge it,” says Louise.

Coffee hours of a similar nature will be offered on a monthly basis. They will be hosted by the students from the various different countries represented at Kovsies.
