The Office for International Affairs (OIA) hosted a coffee hour get-together on the Bloemfontein Campus. Louise Steyn, an officer at the OIA, describes the coffee hour initiative as one that aims to acknowledge and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures among our students
The Lesotho Student Association (LESA) used this opportunity to share the beauty of their country. “I’m very proud of the first coffee hour. I hope that a year from now we can have it at Shimla Park so that the entire student community can acknowledge it,” says Louise.
Coffee hours of a similar nature will be offered on a monthly basis. They will be hosted by the students from the various different countries represented at Kovsies.
