What a delightful start to the morning! We were pleasantly surprised by the University management at the Main Campus, led by the Vice Chancellor, who came together for a Cup of Soup with the VC. This heart-warming initiative aims to show appreciation for the incredible work our staff does at the University. We value and recognise the daily efforts of all our staff members, and this gesture marks the beginning of a series of similar events that will take place at different University campuses on various days, each with its unique format. We have attached some photos capturing the essence of this morning’s awesome gesture.
