Programme managers from the campus’ Schools of Humanities, Information Technology, and Management, along with industry experts, Matete Elias Malope, Dr Jan Nell, Leanne Steyn, and Martha Gororo were available during breakaway sessions to offer insight and answer questions.
Makombe, who engaged with the prospective students and answered their questions, said her highlight of the evening was offering advice regarding decisions they were struggling to make.
“Life is no one size fits all, so keeping an open mind is important because your journey is unique and different from the next person. By living a life of continuous learning and growth you will never reach a point of knowing it all. You have to work on yourself daily in order to achieve your goals and life aspirations,” Makombe told the students.
“Having a postgraduate qualification increases employability and earning potential. Not only does it expose you to the latest trends and knowledge in your field of interest and offer you the opportunity to gain the skills necessary for the competitive world of work, but it also contributes to your sense of self-worth.”
The masquerade-themed event celebrated individuality and diversity. Prospective post-graduate students embraced the theme, creating a positive energy at the event.
It exemplified the campus’ commitment to cultivating an inclusive community that values diversity.
