The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.
We wish to congratulate the following four officials (in alphabetical order) with their election to the Excom of the Convocation:
1. Dr Pieter Bettings
2. Ms Ntombi Nhlapo
3. Mr Ntakuseni Razwiedani
4. Ms Nokuthula Sithole
A meeting of the Excom of the Convocation will be scheduled to discuss the one remaining vacancy in the Excom.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in this process as well for their interest in, and commitment to the University and its affairs.
Received from: The Registrar and the President of the Convocation

Susanne Gottuck from Bielefeld University in Germany visited the UFS on 4 October 2012 to welcome the university to the prestigious EduWel Initial Training Network. Generously funded by the EU Commission for four years (2010-2014), the programme focuses on the development of 15 early-stage researchers, supported by senior researchers in nine countries. The early-stage researchers work on the common theme of 'education as welfare'. Following the arrival of Professor Melanie Walker at the UFS, we are now an associate partner of this innovative research capacity-building project. Slides from the presentation about EDUWEL can be obtained from Lucretia Smith (smithl3@ufs.ac.za). While at the university, Susanne also presented a seminar on her research on a Pedagogy of Migration and the concept of 'critical culturalization'.
