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.

The Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) was visited by Prof. Marc de Clercq, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of the University of Ghent, Belgium, to explore the possibilities of collaboration in education and research in the field of economics and management. The two universities have signed a collaboration agreement in 2007. Prof. De Clercq was accompanied by Prof. Luc D’Haese, Extraordinary Professor of Rural Economy and Development Economics, and Advisor to the Rector on international affairs. This visit will be followed by a video conference to plan for further cooperation implementation, and for a reciprocal visit by UFS to Ghent later this year. Here are, from the left: Prof. Hendri Kroukamp Acting Dean: Economic and Management Sciences at the UFS, Prof. D’Haese, Prof. De Clercq and Prof. Aldo Stroebel, Head of Internationalisation at the UFS.
