Overview

In the beginning of 2009, The University of Venda created a directorate on Community Engagement (CE).  Through the directorate, Univen seeks to ensure that a qualitative, symbiotic and reciprocal relationship exists between itself and its community stakeholders – a relationship of mutual benefit.  It is the intention of Univen to excel in  Community Engagement programmes that is both scholarship-based and community oriented, embedded in the academic work of the institution as proposed by Boyer (1995).
