PGDipLIS students acknowledged at annual prize giving

The Department of Knowledge and Information Stewardship’s annual prize giving event was held on the afternoon of Thursday 19 October and was a celebratory occasion for students and staff. While students still have examinations to complete before the end of the academic year, the event was an opportunity to bid the class farewell and reward deserving students with official departmental prizes, as well as certificates of merit. The sponsored MaNel Trust prizes were also awarded and, lastly, certificates of completion were presented by Safia Lagerdien to those students who successfully finished the Personal and Professional Development Programme (PPDP) from UCT’s Careers Service.

The department congratulates all awardees and wishes the class as a whole all the best for the future.
