David Uwah’s journey in business, and his combination of
industry and leadership insight internationally is considered valuable to any entrepreneur. As such, he is affiliated with several initiatives that focus on building young entrepreneurs.
François van Schalkwyk and Keenan Carelse,
UFS alumni leading the university’s United Kingdom Alumni Chapter, have put their voices together to produce and
direct the podcast series. Intended to reconnect alumni with the university and their university experience, the podcasts will be featured on the first Monday of every month, ending in November 2021. Our featured alumni share and reflect
on their experiences at the UFS, how it has shaped their lives, and relate why their ongoing association with the UFS is still relevant and important. The podcasts are authentic conversations – they provide an opportunity for the university
to understand and learn about the experiences of its alumni and to celebrate the diversity and touchpoints that unite them.
