While the University of the Western Cape (UWC) have conferred many honorary degrees and medals that recognised the extraordinary contributions of individuals, 30 November 2022 was the first time that UWC held a special gala event to honour excellence and distinction.

Those who were honoured for their contributions are indeed worthy of this recognition because they exemplify creativity, scholarship, selflessness and the courage of their convictions in making a difference in society.

Their stories, and the history of UWC Honorary Doctorates and Gold Medals, are told in this UWC Greats booklet.
