Here are some quotes from HERS-SA ACADEMY participants!:

“I am so fired up I cannot wait to go back and start spreading the word. Now I know I have the confidence to make decisions to start acting actively with knowledge. Not even the sky is the limit now”

“I was particularly thrilled at the wealth of expertise in various aspects of higher education. It was unusual to see the balance of academic theory and practical experience by the presenters.”

“I am leaving the ACADEMY with a fresher approach to being an excellent manager in my present position and a mentor to my team”

“For sure this has been a life learning experience. I have discovered a lot about myself – my strengths and weaknesses and I believe I have acquired tools that I can use to shape my institution even better”

“The ACADEMY has awakened in me a strong sense of wanting a better life which I can live by contributing to the development of my country”

“Absolutely! For the second time (I attended in 2006). Again I enjoyed it very much, met wonderful and inspiring women from all over Africa. I experienced a vibrant vibe from the first day...”

“It has been a worthwhile experience for me as I’ve expanded my network link. The presentations were interesting, valuable, empowering and challenging”.

 

 

Well here we are after the HERS-SA ACADEMY 2009 which was held from Sunday 13 to Saturday 19 September 2009 at the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business in the Waterfront, Cape Town.   This was our 7th ACADEMY and, from feedback received, it was very successful.   See the group delegate photo below!
