Belinda Janeke receives Dean’s Medal in EMS

11 May 2022 | Story Dr Nitha Ramnath

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.

Rain doesn’t scare Kovsie Rag

2012-01-31

There were rain, but also sunshine, when students of our university took to the streets of Bloemfontein on colourful floats, during the annual Rag main procession on Saturday 28 January 2012.

A festive atmosphere prevailed when the procession moved along Nelson Mandela Drive, with young and old gathering in the streets to watch the floats.

Earlier in the day, two processions departed for Heidedal and Mangaung, so that residents of these neighbourhoods could also share in the activities. Food parcels were distributed in the two neighbourhoods along the way.

The main procession departed from the Main Campus at 18:00, from where it moved to the Old Greys Sports Grounds for the Rag concert. Die Heuwels Fantasties and DJ Black Coffee entertained the crowd until late. The floats of Armentum, Soetdoring, Wag-'n-Bietjie and Legatum residences were named as winners.
