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.

Staff participates in sport afternoon
2007-06-18

The University of the Free State (UFS) held an interdepartmental sport afternoon which was organised by the Wellness Committee. The purpose of the sport afternoon was to give staff the opportunity to interact in an informal manner, to get to know one another and to create a positive climate among staff, in the interest of wellness. Teams from a number of departments such as Finance, the Centre for Higher Education Studies and Development (CHESD), Human Resources, Computer Services and UFS Marketing enthusiastically participated in volley ball, golf and bowls. Here are a few of the team members of the Department of Finance.
