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.

What is it to be a Kovsie?
2014-11-14

#PeopleofKovsies - My philosophy is: be who you are, follow your bliss and when life gets tricky, put on a pair of heels! - #KovsieFeeling

 

#PeopleOfKovsies is infiltrating common spaces and ordinary places to find these extraordinary qualities – in you. What is better than one picture to tell the story of a thousand words? Only – a stack of pictures that tells the Kovsie story.

So, when one of our #PeopleOfKovsies photographers come your way, don’t run – stay! And smile. Or wink. Or pout. Or point. No matter what angle or pose, we want you to be part of our #PeopleOfKovsies snapshot collection to reveal the essence of what exactly that #KovsieFeeling is.
