The Stellenbosch University Development and Alumni Relations team will be hosting two networking events - one in Boston and one in New York City - and we would be delighted if you and a partner could join us in either of these cities. The guest speaker for both evenings will be the internationally acclaimed Professor Wayne Derman, Director of the Institute of Sport and Exercise Medicine (ISEM) at Stellenbosch University.
