The Council of Stellenbosch University (SU) held its first of four scheduled meetings for the year on Tuesday 13 April 2021. As in December 2020, we again met in hybrid mode, with some members gathering on campus (observing all COVID-19 protocols) and others participating online.
SU did extremely well in trying circumstances last year, having completed
the 2020 academic year successfully despite a rapid switch to online mode when contact tuition was suspended nationwide in March. In the end, no fewer than 9 079
qualifications were awarded to students from all backgrounds, including 270 doctoral degrees – among the highest of all universities in South Africa.

The journey to a renewed brand identity for Stellenbosch University (SU) reached a significant milestone when Council approved a new logo for the institution today (Tuesday 13 April 2021). The new S -stream logo will replace the S -leaf logo that has been in use since 2000.
Prof Wim de Villiers, Rector and Vice-Chancellor, said: “The world over, brand positioning is crucial for universities, ultimately affecting their reputation, ranking and funding. Our new logo is modern and streamlined, yet still has the gravitas of a classic and elegant logo, with immediate presence and visibility, as befits an institution with world-class academic standing, aspiring to be Africa s leading research-intensive university by 2040.
