TAKE 5: Academic Achievers

'TAKE 5 with…’ is a campaign by the Department of Human Resource Management to feature academic achievers. The purpose of the campaign is firstly to honour the students by showcasing them and their achievements online, and also to give other students and members of academia and industry an insight into their ideas and the keys to their success. Each profile is made up of a short description of the candidate, followed by their answers to five questions we posed to them.
