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.

Recently the Faculty of Law at the University of the Free State (UFS) held a cocktail function on the Main Campus to celebrate the achievements of the law students who represented the university at the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot competition in Vienna, Austria, last month. The UFS team was ranked 46th out of 177 universities from all over the world. One of the students, Deman Smit, received an individual oralist award and an honourable mention as one of the best speakers in the competition. Team members who attended the function were, from the left, front: Lucian Campanie, Dee Leboela, Sunette Visser and Hanno Bekker; back: Vicky Olivier and Deman Smit.
