Belinda Janeke is the proud recipient of the Dean’s Medal for best honours student in Industrial Psychology in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS), which was awarded during the recent April graduation ceremonies. Janeke, a career adviser specialising in career services with a focus on career development and work-readiness programmes, is currently studying for a master’s in Industrial Psychology, with a view to becoming a registered industrial psychologist.

“The Dean’s Medal was a huge surprise and shock, and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing lecturers I had,” says Janeke.  “They have done so much to engage with us, teach us, and help us with online teaching in 2020 and 2021.”

Janeke began her career as an orientation officer at the University of the Free State (UFS) in 2009 and was promoted to advising and lecturing before being appointed as Head: Career Services (Student Affairs) in 2013, a position she currently holds.

“I really enjoyed my studies; I could live my passion and apply the work experience I gained over time as well. It is just a super blessing from Above; only by God’s grace that this happened,” explains Janeke.

Enlarged versions of our favourite cartoon characters, colourful student faces dressed in festive outfits, and The Parlotones who performed in front of a record crowd, are but a few of the highlights which characterised this year’s Engen Rag procession. This year, the Kovsie Rag procession also took a turn in Heidedal for the first time. The winners of this year’s colourful floats are Karee, Marjolein and Soetdoring (pool A) and JBM, Kagiso and Welwitschia (pool B).
