Prof. Albert Strydom, Dean: Faculty of Management Sciences was nominated to take part in Titans Building the Nations Award (South Africa and the Southern part of SADC countries). He competed with the best in the mentioned regions on 28 July 2015 in Johannesburg and won both the Country and Region (SA & SADC South) Award in the category of Education and Training: Academic. 

 

The annual Titans-Building Nations Awards is a recognition programme that pays tribute to the powerful men in Africa who play pivotal roles in the development and growth of their country, the African continent, and its communities. Asked about his excitement and feelings for being the country and regional winner in this prestigious event, Prof. Strydom said that his win was a team effort that gave his faculty and CUT the necessary exposure in Africa and beyond. “I was totally caught by surprise when my name was announced.  I am honoured and humbled and want to extend my appreciation and recognition to all colleagues who played a role in what we have achieved as a team. I would also like to thank CUT for affording me the opportunity to participate in the event. The hard work and efforts we put to build the nation in line with our Vision 2020 has paid off. This opportunity has given us good exposure and it is evident that CUT can compete with the rest of the world.” Prof. Strydom will compete in the continent (Africa) event later this year.
