Dear UP community,

As we prepare to embark on our autumn graduation season, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for each and every one of you. It is because of your collective dedication, support and hard work that we are able to celebrate the remarkable achievement of 12 511 graduates who will soon walk across the stage.

Your unwavering commitment has made a profound difference in the lives of these students, more than half of whom have benefitted from financial support provided by the University of Pretoria (UP). Without your contributions, these milestones would not have been possible.

From 15 April to 15 May, we will gather on Hillcrest campus to honour these graduates and their incredible accomplishments. Among them are individuals who have overcome significant obstacles to reach this momentous occasion, a testament to their resilience and determination.

I invite you to join us in celebrating their journeys by visiting www.up.ac.za/up-graduations. Here, you can follow their stories and be inspired by their achievements.

At UP, we are dedicated to nurturing graduates who are equipped to make a meaningful impact on their communities and the world. Your support plays a crucial role in fulfilling this mission, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

As we come together to celebrate the achievements of our graduates, let us also reflect on the impact we can continue to make through initiatives like the UP Giving Day Campaign. Together, we can create positive change and empower future generations of students to realise their dreams. It is after all the University’s purpose to create, apply and share knowledge.

Thank you for your dedication and support.

Let’s continue to Make Today Matter, together.

Warm regards,
