Mind Matters is a first for the UFS. It is a mental-health publication for students aimed at highlighting what matters most when it comes to your mind, life, and well-being. Some sections share how individuals in the top echelons of the UFS take care of their minds. Other sections focus on how to support your grey matter (i.e. your brain) and, consequently, improve your general functioning. Some parts discuss matters related to careers, well-being, finance, and self-development. We also provide news and resources that might matter to you.
Whatever your fancy, Mind Matters focuses primarily on why the health of your mind matters. Our minds and brains are the most powerful intelligence or apparatuses on the planet. A power like this needs to be wielded wisely, otherwise we may suffer much from our own neglect of our mental health. It’s not always easy, but it is important!
Mind Matters was possible due to the cumulative contributions, inputs, and work of numerous UFS professionals, especially within
Student Affairs. We are grateful and proud of each person involved. We endeavour to honour these efforts by continually improving and developing Mind Matters. Your feedback and voices are most welcome and will continue to inform what we do next.

In a packed Odeion on the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) former Judge of Appeal, JJF Hefer recently addressed an audience of staff members, students and other members of the legal profession on the current trends in the Law of Delict. His lecture: “Evolution of the Law of Delict” was presented to include students in the centenary celebrations. With reference to examples from the case law Judge Hefer illustrated how the law of delict changed to adapt to prevailing circumstances and the needs of society. The faculty is this year celebrating a century of excellence in legal education, training and research under the theme “Iurisprudentia 100”.
