Social Impact Morning makes a difference

Stellenbosch University

(SU) hosted its annual Social Impact Community Morning on Thursday, 9 February. This event is run by the Division of Social Impact together with the Centre for Student Communities in the Division of Student Affairs at SU. More than 5000 newcomers were able to engage with local communities to ensure a greater awareness of the social and environmental challenges that these communities face.

“Students received training in sustainable community development and through their work in communities learn functional skills that contribute to their development as adults in society,” said Ms Renee Hector-Kannemeyer, Deputy Director of the Division of Social Impact in an SU media release.

“I believe Social Impact Morning is an amazing way for newcomers to see opportunities available to them throughout the year,” said Louisa Naude, Metanoia HK when asked
