Welcome to 2024's first edition of the North-West University's (NWU's) community engagement newsletter, the IMPACT@NWU. This year, our university remains steadfast in its commitment to nurturing robust community connections through impactful engagement initiatives.

These endeavours extend beyond mere philanthropy. They are about forging enduring partnerships and empowering communities to flourish not just in 2024, but well into the future.
