Develoment focus: UJ RENOVATED

 How much longer do  things have to remain the same?

I have been part of the university for four years , I am sure that things like the bathrooms, lecture rooms the library and study center have remained the same even before I was a student there. Change is not only about technology and the advancement of the 4th industrial revolution, in my opinion no amount of technology can renovate the physical space, both technology and the environment have to marry each other. I will always feel the need to emphasize on the uniqueness of using pupils being trained by the university for the good of the university...reversed phychology in a way!

Students enrolled in interior design can have projects of renovating the lecture rooms for example or libraries or even the study center.These could be our potential lecture halls ...Do we not  deserve it? not only as students but as a country, by making such enormous renovations we can stand out and inspire other develoments
I can only imagine the level of concerntration in such a lecture hall!!!
 The university is really not bad at all am saying is that the university can put its student to good use.
I have noticed that the library at DFC usually is overcrowded, this in an opportunity for students in architecture to design strategies or plants that can extent the library to accomodate everyone. 
One thing I have learned is that as an organization don't always be profit driven, 50% of what the organization is about should mostly be for it's primary stakeholders so the relationship never dies. Showing constant  interest keeps the spark alive. 

The main reason I chose to focus on students is because I know how it feels, I am directly impacted and without the interest of students towards the university it wouldn't exist. All I am saying is when you give or offer a service do it the best to ensure survival.

Develoment focus: foreign language and transportation

Everybody is foreigners somewhere! Sometimes having dreams and aspirations of travelling the world to pursue a career or work outside of your own country is GREAT.  Many opportunities are born from this initiative, especially fancial freedom due to the different currencies.  You might never know when you might need it but a foreing language is to me something that I feel can be put to use.   Foreign language  At some point I do feel like a foreing language should be included in every course like latin, I do know that we have students who study latin. It is spoken in more than 20 countries including Barcelona, Venezuela, Brazil, if every student takes a foreing language as a module the foreign language graduates will have a field of practice which is teaching other's the language.   I know learning a new language as an adult can be hard but am sure you'd agree that it feels good to be spoken to in your language, your foreign language might not be 100% perfect but with regular pr

Develoment focus: your kind of cafeteria

   UJ REimagined Your kind of university  The opportunity to do the problem based learning approach for work interated learning had indeed given me the chance to adrees some prominant issues that stood out for me during the entire student process. This is a word that I have indeed always wanted to get across, I could say that somehow the corona virus pandemic has opened at least a window for me to begin this project however within  this oppotunity I am encoutering difficulties with bringing this project to life on a digital scale because I lack resources . So I have been thinking there is so much more the university of Johannesburg can do to give back to students. An increase of R300 annual fees can raise a lot of money to at least build a cafeteria on every campus. In my opinion this initiative can be a stepping stone to other upgrates the university can make. A cafeteria at campus will mean that students can be exposed to a balanced diet. 2 out of 10 students include at least one kin
