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) has formed a partnership with the Lebone Land Care Centre, a local non-governmental organisation taking care of HIV/Aids orphans. The partnership was formalised during the recent HIV/Aids event hosted by the Chief Directorate: Community Service at the UFS in partnership with the Life Skills HIV and Aids Unit of the Free State Department of Education. This was the biggest HIV/Aids focus event in the history of the university, which culminated with the handing over of a R10 000 cheque to the Lebone Land Care Centre. Pictured is the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, Prof Frederick Fourie, handing over the cheque to the Funding Co-ordinator for Lebone Land, Mr Clint Bailey.
