Social, Environmental, and Governance responsibility
The Tygerberg Doctoral Office strives to realise inclusive education by operationalising the SU and FMHS values of excellence, compassion, accountability, respect, and equity.
We strive to provide each client with energetic and effective support, as a reason for being; and to practice collegiality towards each other and our wider SU colleagues as we jointly serve and promote the vision and mission of SU and the best interests of our community and
wider context.
The team at the Tygerberg Doctoral Office makes two further specific,? achievable commitments:
The team also champions full participation in SU activities by staff and students living with a disability. We aim to provide fully accessible services and offerings, and seek out opportunities to make our campus increasingly inclusive. We invite? all FMHS colleagues to stop in at our
Annual Academic Day stand for disability-relevant information, and all SU colleagues to co-support SA Casual Day?.
Meanwhile, learn more about the SU Disability Office
at this link. To? members and prospective members of our SU community who live with a disability - we are learning; please share your specific needs or requests with us.
We also cap our carbon footprint by providing 95% paperless
services, and by reserving printing as far as possible for occasions where this will add specific and well-considered value on site. This approach? supports the
SU sustainability goals and the ambition of our dean and faculty to achieve a zero waste Tygerberg ?campus.
In sum, we embrace the aspirational attributes of SU stakeholders.
Giving at the FMHS
If you perhaps visited this link because you are motivated to support ESG at the FMHS, the following rewarding options are available.The FMHS Ithemba Bursary Fund established in 2015 provides critical financial support to students who do not qualify for funding via other structures. Ithemba is synonymous with the HOPE Project of the late SU Rector, Prof Russel Botman, and is a fitting way to promote his legacy of providing hope to students who otherwise would not have been able to further their studies.?
Those interested in donating to promote inclusive access ?to eduction, alleviate socio-economic inequality, and support the ambitious research and training programmes of the FMHS, are invited to find more information at this link.
