On 10 May 2018, the Department of Human Resource Management’s Annual Prize Giving Ceremony was held at the spectacular Villa Sterne Guesthouse in Pretoria. On arrival, guests were greeted with sherry and a breath-taking view overlooking Pretoria and the Union Buildings, with a cosy fire crackling in the corner and a violin playing softly in the background to create the ideal atmosphere.
The formal prize giving evening started with the Department’s HOD, Prof Alewyn Nel, giving a speech, after which the prizes were awarded to the undergraduate prize winners, HR Tuks, honours students and the master’s degree student. Each sponsor was called to award their prize to the relevant winners. The prize winners and sponsors for the evening included:

This event is evidence that the Department is appreciative of and values all of the HR student’s hard work and dedication.
