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.

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.
