How Southern African Universities are dealing with COVID-19

01 June 2020      Corinne Merriman, Events Manager

Join AUDE and HEFMA on the 3rd June at 9:00am for a virtual members impact meeting on how Southern African Universities are dealing with COVID-19

AUDE and HEFMA (Higher Education Facilities Management Association for Southern Africa) are joining up to hold a Teams’ meeting with its members to share information on the effect of COVID-19 on staff, institutions, campuses, and more. Although each institution will be doing various things at their campuses during this unprecedented time and our experiences will surely differ, but what we are going through due to COVID-19 is devastating to our membership, campuses, and infrastructure. There is a lot of uncertainty, so the aim of this meeting is to hear from representatives from the UK and Southern Africa to share information on what colleagues are experiencing at different campuses so that others can learn something from these experiences and ease the type of concerns we have about our own environments. 

The webinar is free to join please book here >>

Agenda: 

  1. Welcome and explanation of the reason for the meeting
  2. Allow each institution rep. 10 minutes to share their implementation plans, return to campus plans and processes and share their challenges
  3. Questions and discussion: (45 minutes)
