Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Marcus Ramogale addressing the guests at the dinnerProfessor Marcus Ramogale, Acting Vice-Chancellor, and Principal of MUT has called on the South African public and alumni to support MUT as an institution founded on and committed to the principles of public good.
Speaking at the Alumni Fundraising Dinner (AFD) hosted at the Oyster Box Hotel on 20 October 2023, Professor Ramogale reminded guests that a donation to MUT was an investment in public good towards the development of society.
“Ours is an institution that was founded on the principles of serving the public good. What this means is that when we train our students, we do not expect them to selfishly use their qualifications for their sole benefit. We expect our graduates to make a difference in whatever area they choose. We expect them to bring light to whatever corner of the world they occupy, regardless of how small or big,” explained Professor Ramogale.
Professor Ramogale added that he expected MUT alumni not only to plough back at the University but to also make a difference to fellow citizens in their communities.
At a special luncheon on Friday, 27 November 2023, the Vice-Chancellor thanked Institutional Advancement for its professional, efficient delivery and for the level of formality the event upheld, as well as Convocation for its role. No one had tapped into these resources before. He urged all to continue this trend.
