This year the annual HERS-SA Academy for university women will celebrate its seventh anniversary.

The academy, the only event of its kind in South Africa, focuses on women who are currently in senior management positions in higher education institutions, or those who aspire to management positions.

This carefully crafted seven-day event takes place from 13-19 September at UCT's Graduate School of Business.

It is a residential programme and provision is made for delegates to stay at the adjoining Protea Breakwater Lodge hotel.

For more information about this year's academy, visit the HERS-SA website.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to contact their institution's Human Resource Department, which will have received all the necessary documentation.
