It’s Kit Kat time at NMMU

We're taking a break!

We’ve tucked into a Kit Kat, hauled out the slops and slapped on the sun tan lotion. Yes, the life@nmmu blog is taking a breather. We’re taking a break, and eating the proverbial Kit Kat.

It won’t be for too long, but long enough for us to unwind, relax and recharge the batteries that keep us going throughout 2014.

And we’ll be reflecting too, recalling the good times and bad and generally taking stock of all that has happened in the past 365 days.

Such as:

• All our green advances in technology, like the wind turbines and solar phone charging units

• Our staff and students who achieved internationally, like Vice-Chancellor’s Scholars Amy-Rose Westcott, who was the world’s top achiever in the Cambridge International Advanced Subsidiary Levels maths exam. She beat 69 000 others around the globe
• 
  
• Former SRC President Yusuf Cassim becoming the youngest member of Parliament in the history of South Africa at just 24 years old

• The incredible number of building projects undertaken, including completion of Africa’s first “green” public building, the R116m Business School 

• Growing interest in NMMU’s future medical school, which is being established in a “bottom-up approach” 

• News of a future maritime faculty for NMMU

There will also be a chance to focus on our future … and for NMMU; much of it will include our 10-year anniversary celebrations in 2015.

So till then, life@nmmu wishes you a blessed festive season and looks forward to connecting with you again in the New Year.

Thank you for your continued support.
