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 University of the Free State (UFS) held an interdepartmental sport afternoon which was organised by the Wellness Committee. The purpose of the sport afternoon was to give staff the opportunity to interact in an informal manner, to get to know one another and to create a positive climate among staff, in the interest of wellness. Teams from a number of departments such as Finance, the Centre for Higher Education Studies and Development (CHESD), Human Resources, Computer Services and UFS Marketing enthusiastically participated in volley ball, golf and bowls. Here are a few of the team members of the Department of Finance.
