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.

A very successful morning for the parents of first-year students who are coming to study at Kovsies in 2011 was presented on our Main Campus in Bloemfontein at the end of 2010. It was the first time that a programme of this nature was presented and approximately 300 parents from across the country attended the event in a packed Scaena Theatre.  The parents were informed about all aspects of student life and were afforded the opportunity to talk to staff members and ask questions.
