Diversity on campus and an interactive relationship between students and the SRC is the key to a fulfilling campus experience, according to members of the student council.

Wits SRC members explored ways of improving the council’s relationship with students during the National Student Leadership Conference on Citizenship, Democracy and Governance held from August 20-22 at the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg.

Medical students working at hospitals have been hit hard by the public servants’ strike that has been rampaging across the country since last week.

Many Wits students working at Helen Joseph and Chris Hani Baragwanath hospitals have been reassigned to Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital because of violent protests. Students are not only contending with striking civil servants, but are also missing crucial academic work.

The Wits Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS)has launched into battle to protect the Mapungubwe World Heritage site in Limpopo. The site is under threat  from a coal mine  that has been set up only  6km from its border.

Wits management is in the firing line once again – this time from student leadership.

University graduates are more likely to find work if they have built up their work experience and contacts while they studied.
