As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) of Stellenbosch University (SU) today unveiled its new logo.

Prof Jimmy Volmink, Dean, said the new logo reflects the faculty's roots and traditions, while at the same time signifying a shared future. He invited staff, students, alumni and stakeholders to contribute to the faculty's narrative beyond 2016.

"The FMHS has grown from humble beginnings on the premises of the Karl Bremer Hospital in 1956 into an institution renowned for producing quality health professionals and innovative research which addresses some of society's most pressing needs. These successes are built on the visionary leadership, dedication and hard work of many individuals over a number of decades," Volmink said.

Tygerberg is sometimes referred to as the 'Campus of Champions' because its staff and students excel at many activities ranging from academic to sport, arts and culture.

"We are also known as a community that cares about its members, as well as the broader society. For example, our unique FMHS Fund provides bursaries and loans to successful, but financially needy students who do not qualify for financial support from other sources (for more information visit www.sun.ac.za/FMHSfund). We will continue striving to produce leaders and change agents who make a difference in South Africa and the world," Volmink said.
