UCT hails newly promoted academics

06 December 2010

Though the annual ad hominem promotions event is traditionally a lunchtime meet and greet, UCT added some lustre and spiff this year by hosting a formal dinner for the latest recipients.

At the occasion, held in Smuts Hall on 25 November, vice-chancellor Dr Max Price explained that the occasion and the honourees more than warranted the elevated celebrations. He praised the promoted academics and the scientific and technical officers (though technically, promotions kick in only on 1 January 2011) for the value that they add to UCT's reputation. It is their work, said Price, that makes UCT a sought-after centre of learning for school learners, postgraduates and fellow scholars, and allows the university to attract substantial public and private funding.

"We have this kind of influence because of the efforts you have put into your field of study."

Price also made special mention of recipient Associate Professor Cassim 'Cas' Motala, who died on 10 November, shortly after being informed that he had been promoted to full professor.

"Prof Motala serves as just one example of the talent and accomplishment were are here to honour," said Price.
