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.

More than 4 200 first-year students are enrolled in the core curriculum UFS101 at the UFS this year, doubling the number of students in 2012. The course has been specially designed to equip students with a social and intellectual advantage in addition to their specialist degrees. This year about 150 students on the Qwaqwa Campus are taking part in a pilot programme of UFS101 and there is a possibility that it will also be presented in Kimberley from 2014. Students have the opportunity to be lectured by top “lecturers”. One of them, Judge Cagney J (front row, left), Judge of the Free State High Court, lectured on the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa Campuses in March 2013.
