Howzit: Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ies in the UK
-
The jacarandas have showered their flowers in front of Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½’ Great Hall as spring arrived in South Africa.
Though the cool weather of autumn is upon the UK, the warmest of wishes from UK alumni, partners and friends of Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ greeted us as we announced a joint doctoral programme with a top UK university and when a Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Deputy Vice-Chancellor visited the UK recently. Thank you for remembering your roots and for the warm welcome.
In this issue,
- find out how Ruth Leas, Chief Executive Officer of Investec Bank plc, keeps conscious of her own roots at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ whilst she keeps growing in her career
- read why the eminent architect Denise Scott Brown should come to mind whenever you think of Trafalgar Square
- see the report of how Andy Kuper’s crucial climate work came to the attention not just of King Charles III but also of USA President Joe Biden
- and if you saw the compelling puppetry in ‘Life & Times of Michael K’ at the Edinburgh Fringe, you may not have realised that Lara Foot adapted the novel for the stage.
These Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ies and many others share their roots with you. Thank you to all our UK alumni and friends for keeping Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ in your hearts and a special word of thanks to those who donate so generously to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ - thank you for making a difference!
