UCT Libraries recognised in VC’s Service Excellence Awards
The University of Cape Town (UCT) Vice-Chancellor’s Service Excellence Awards recognise teams and individuals who “have gone over and above the line of duty to make a difference in the lives of others through transformative change”. This year, UCT Libraries was counted among those top achievers.
Announcing the awards in October, Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng acknowledged the difficulties that COVID-19 has brought about and noted her appreciation for all of those who have contributed to the sustainability of the university during this challenging time.
Professor Phakeng also highlighted the opportunities that the ongoing pandemic has presented. “This time has … also encouraged inventiveness, research rigour, voluntarism and community engagement, which in turn has promoted greater cohesion, care and collaboration with the UCT community and society at large,” she said.
