In light of Stellenbosch University's commitment to make 2017 a year of meaningful engagement with key stakeholders – especially staff and students – the Rector’s Management Team (RMT) approved the compilation of a strategic engagement calendar.   A list of nine stakeholder groupings and 11 themes were identified, which will inform SU activities over the months of 2017 (click here to view). And with Human Rights day around the corner, the theme for March is “Co-creating a socially just Stellenbosch University”, with the emphasis on our Constitution, inclusivity, human dignity, combating unfair discrimination, equal opportunities and access to higher education.

The Transformation office has identified a number of events where staff and students can engage with various themes around social justice and transformation. 

• The Discourse series at the Frederik van Zyl Slabbert Leadership Institute during the annual Woordfees.
• The Oscar and Rose Mpetha Memorial Lecture at the SU Museum on 16 March, at 18:00.
• Various Woordfees events and topics that relate to social justice and transformation.
