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.

1. Dr Pieter Bettings

Day residences bring students together
Do you stay off-campus, in a student house, flat or with your parents?
Why not join a day residence on campus?
Joining a day residence will ensure that you don’t miss out on campus activities.
Day residences at the University of the Free State function in conjunction with campus residences, except as a day residence member, you do not stay on campus. Each day residence is equipped with a gazellie, which functions as a social space, and kitchen and bathroom facilities.
As a day residence member you can take part in sport, cultural and leadership activities. There is also great social interaction as you meet a diverse group of friends.
All day residences participate in the Gateway Programme. As member of a day residence you will participate in all Gateway sessions and be guided through registration.
