* 09 September 2026 * The Community Engagement Unit (CEU) held a Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact (SoE-SI) Training with colleagues from the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences (CHS). The session, which forms part of the University Capacity Development Grant (UCDP)-funded project, Strengthening the Scholarship of Engagement for Societal Impact (SoE-SI), was facilitated by Dr. Samantha van Schalkwyk, Acting Director of the Community Engagement Unit, and Mr. Ridwaan Mallum, Digital Transformation Specialist & Enterprise Solutions Architect. It focused on introducing colleagues to UWC’s Scholarship of Engagement Model and providing guidance on how to capture and showcase their community-engaged work through the SoE-SI web portal.
Colleagues had an opportunity to discuss the Scholarship Model, connect it to the work they are already doing, and share some of the projects and initiatives they are involved in within communities.
A second training session with the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences will take place on 07 October 2026 for colleagues who were unable to attend today’s session.
The CEU would like to thank Prof. Shaheed Soeker and the UWC Faculty of Community and Health Sciences (FCHS) for their support and participation. We look forward to continuing this work with the faculty and creating greater visibility for the valuable engagement taking place across CHS.
