30 July 2021 - Wits University
A love for the bright pink graduation hood turned Wits Deputy Registrar into a Wits engineering alumna.
From helping students to graduate to becoming a Wits graduate herself, Nicoleen Potgieter, Deputy Registrar, shares the surreal feeling of her latest achievement.
After serving the University for 19 years in various roles and witnessing hundreds of students that she helped to complete their studies successfully, Potgieter has experienced the joy of becoming a Wits graduate herself. She graduated with a Master’s of Science in Industrial Engineering on 20 July.
Potgieter initially kept quiet about this achievement because she had always been more excited about the new Wits alumni who made it against the odds. “For me, it has always been about the students,” she says.
