30 July 2021 - Wits University
The Wits Heroes Series celebrates staff members who went beyond the call of duty at the onset of Covid-19 in 2020.
An Information Technology (IT) administrator at the Wits School of Architecture and Planning spearheaded a virtual lab for students, staying true to the culture of innovative excellence championed by Wits University.
Steven Blumberg, who started working at the university in January 2020, was already trained for battle when Covid-19 reached South African shores in March 2020. Before joining Wits, Blumberg ran his own IT consultancy. The consultancy often offered remote support to customers, making the transition into the online teaching space much smoother for him.
Event description
A provocative nationwide roundtable discussing the role of landscape architectural education in shaping future practices and the discipline. About this Event
