The Harry Crossley Foundation has been funding a wraparound initiative that Stellenbosch University makes available to their postgraduate students. On a recent site visit to Stellenbosch University on the 20th of August, we met with Hugo Steyn and Nugent Lewis who presented a very comprehensive report on how many students are making use of the service and what type of programs they are offering.
The Harry Crossley Foundation is concerned that many students do not benefit from what is described as “wraparound” support and to this end we have made funds available to develop this offering for any student at SUN to attend.
Topics covered include:
- How to take care of your mental health as a professional
- How to connect your study path to your career path
- Adopting a wholeness approach to a successful life
- How to build a professional network and how to grow as a global professional
- We are pleased to see that the number of attendees is steadily increasing
We were please to hear about the growth of the program this year and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow.
