​​Following the Western Cape, Gauteng is SU's second largest feeder province. Faculties and the Division for Student Access joined forces for an Information Evening for about 1000 provisionally accepted students and their parents at the Mosaiek Lifestyle Centre in Johannesburg. The aim for this events is to impact the registration rate for 2020, as well as strengthening and forging relationships with schools and prospective Maties.

We recognise the critical stage that these learners find themselves in and we used this opportunity to create awareness of what SU has to offer. Both parents and students got the chance to have any possible worries or questions answered by the experts.

The programme covered the following themes, Why Maties (Rector & Vice-Chancellor: Prof Wim de Villiers); On your way to SU (Deputy Director: Student Recruitment and Career Advice- Dr Gillian Arendse) and How SU prepared me (Alumni: Janine Jellars).

We are grateful for the University-wide partnerships to have made this a successful event and look forward to reap the benefits in 2020.
