VC welcomes new staff

There were smiles all round as UCT’s new staff members enjoyed a welcome lunch, hosted by Vice Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng at Glenara on 5 November. One of many social gatherings where new staff members get the opportunity to socialise with fellow colleagues, the aim of these functions is to help entrench an accessible and inclusive culture in which all staff feel at home. New staffers who took up posts include, among others, Gilah Poggenpoel (Department of English, Literature & Humanities), Fefekazi Mavuso (Department of Alumni & Development) and Cherise Llewellyn (Department of Human Resources). Michael Hammond was there to capture it all on camera.
