Leanne Manas and Prof Francis Petersen
In conversation: Prof Petersen and Leanne Manas.

An outward-looking, globally competitive university that ranks among the top-tier universities in South Africa and on the continent, driven by a strong human-centred, diverse social-justice approach. This is at the heart of the vision Prof Francis Petersen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, shared with multi-award-winning news anchor Leanne Manas during a sit-down conversation on Friday 22 July 2022.

Prof Petersen reflected on the great strides and difficulties faced during his first term, as well as navigating the UFS through the COVID-19 pandemic to position the institution in a strategic and focused manner as a university of choice on the continent and in other parts of the globe.

2005-04-09

Dit is absoluut beeldskone, hartskeurende musiek. … Waar ‘n mens gewoonlik niks vroeër as Bach oor Kersfees en Handel oor Paasfees kry nie, is Membra Jesu nostrl ‘n onverwagse geluk … Hou dadelik op met lees en gaan koop nou ‘n kaartjie!

(Willem Bester, KKNK KRIT, 27 Maart 2005)

‘n Ander  juweel …  was die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se Membra Jesu nostri deur Buxtehude. Dié siklus van sewe cantatas oor die kruisiging van Christus is bedrewe deur die studente uitgevoer, met talle hoendervleis-oomblikke.
