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 University of the Free State (UFS) was recently honoured with the FSIA Award for Architecture 2009 of the Free State Institute of Architects. The UFS received this award for the taxi terminal that was constructed on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. Typology Architects is the architect of this project. The UFS was one of thirteen entries that participated in the 2009 VIA Merit Awards Programme. Mr Nico Janse van Rensburg from the UFS says that this award is a milestone for the university, because it is a good example of an excellent design that is functional for the users’ needs at a very cost-effective budget.
