Dear Campus Community

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the DVC: Academic 2021 Reflective Report. 

This report contains an overview of our academic approach and decision-making during a very tumultuous year, as well as a self-evaluation of the most pertinent work done during the completed Institutional Operating Plan (2016 - 2020).

To this end, the report consists of content related to:
  • A radical change to our policy framework following our evidence-based approach to learning and teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  • Strategic integrated planning and implementation during the IOP (2016 - 2020) and an indication of the academic plan 2021 to 2025.
  • People planning.
  • Leadership reflections by the Deans of the seven faculties as well as the directors of the four support directorates within the DVC: Academic line.
I invite the University community to read the 2021 Reflective Report here

I want to use this opportunity to express my appreciation for all the hard work of our academics, academic support staff and the leadership within the faculties that made us achieve a successful completion of the 2021 academic year.

Regards,

Professor Vivienne Lawack
DVC: Academic
