Ad hominem academic promotions

12 April 2016 | Professor Sandra Klopper

12 April 2016

Dear colleagues

It is with great pleasure and pride that we announce on behalf of Senate that a total of 112 academic and technical staff members of the University of Cape Town have been promoted in 2016. These staff members will be honoured through a celebratory event to take place on Tuesday, 19 April 2016.

Their achievement is the reward for all the efforts they have been putting in over the years, which has been demonstrated through their exceptional teaching and research abilities, enthusiastic participation in socially responsive scholarship and professional activities, and the significant way in which they have contributed to leadership and academic administration.

The number of academic ad hominem promotions signals the aggregate contributions made by these individuals in promoting UCT both locally and internationally.

We thank all of them for their contributions. Please join us in congratulating them on their outstanding achievement and wishing them well.

Sincerely,

Professor Sandra Klopper
Acting Vice-Chancellor
