Travelling by starlight:
starting our new journey
The NWU finds itself on the threshold of a new journey where excellence, social justice and institutional unity will be some of our major guiding stars.
This flows from the important decisions the NWU Council took at their meeting on 20 November 2015. Council accepted a new strategy and a new management model for the university, thereby finishing the process started by the university’s strategy team in July 2014.
After 15 months of hard work and consultation with various stakeholder groups of the NWU and finally with Council’s blessing, we are now ready to cross the threshold and start our new journey.
Let’s look at the new strategy (our major guiding star) first. (Click on each icon in the image below.)
