Students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences who excel in academics, community interaction and leadership as well as who excel in the face of adversity, were recently honoured by Stellenbosch University (SU).
These students received the annual Rector's Awards for Outstanding Achievement during an event held at the Wallenberg Research Centre at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study.
Prof Arnold Schoonwinkel (Vice-Rector: Learning and Teaching), said at the event: "Excellence is one of the main values of the University, something that we are always striving towards. And one way of ensuring that we achieve it, is by surrounding ourselves with outstanding people like you. I hope that these awards will serve as an inspiration, not only to you, but those you get in touch with."
