Every year, the Active Civic Teaching Office (ACT) at the University of the Free State runs the Big Give campaign to raise food, money to buy food, and other forms of assistance for needy students. This year is no different. ACT’s big project is raising money for sanitary pads for students on all three campuses. The project will run throughout Women’s Month, August 2021. Providing menstrual hygiene products to female students empower them to continue their studies in comfort.
Karen Scheepers, Assistant Director: Kovsie Support Services, said: “This year, one of the challenges that have been highlighted is the lack of sanitary wear for students. Therefore, we focus our Big Give campaign this year on addressing this challenge that students are experiencing.”
Be part of the Big Give campaign by donating sanitary pads or money towards this initiative. Donation boxes are ready for donations at all the entrance gates of all three campuses. Your donation will go a long way in helping a deserving student.

A new taxi rank, that cost R2,2-million to construct, will begin operating at the University of the Free State (UFS) on Monday, 3 November 2008.
The new taxi rank is a massive improvement on the old one, with many improvements for thousands of commuters who come on to the campus.
The new features include:
underfloor heating
radio broadcasts
rest rooms
anti-crime features
sufficient seating (inside and outside)
The new taxi rank is situated at the DF Malherbe Drive gate, close to the Agriculture Building and within walking distance of the Bloemgate shopping centre. From Monday taxis will no longer operate from the parking area at Odeion.
The new taxi rank is also closer to Thakaneng Bridge and will provide taxi commuters with much easier access to the rest of the campus.
Apart from the fact that the rank has been relocated, the rest of the service provided by the minibus-taxi operators will remain the same.
