UFS Historian honoured
2009-10-30

Prof. André Wessels (pictured), a senior professor in and Chairperson of the University of the Free State’s Department of History, has been appointed as an extraordinary and distant Visiting Fellow at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra, Australia for two years; extraordinary and distant in the sense that he will not be physically working in Canberra, but will co-operate as far as possible with academic colleagues at ADFA, for example with regard to research. He is also welcome to visit ADFA at any stage. ADFA is a satellite campus of the University of New South Wales, and is regarded as one of the foremost military academies in the world. Apparently it is the first time that a South African scholar is honoured in this way.
