A day in the life at the University of Pretoria. 11 November 2008

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria”, the University hosted the Centenary Celebration Lecture Series.  Dr Kavita Sharma, the principal of the Hindu College of the University of Delhi, presented the lecture on this day.

As reported by the Tukkie internal e-newsletter of 2008, Dr Sharma had a PhD in English. She received the 2007 and 2008 Fulbright Fellowship New Century Scholar for the year for her research on higher education in the twenty first century. Her lecture at UP focused on constitutional provisions relating to access and equality in education.
