“Happy birthday - to us! Happy birthday - to us! Happy birthday dear
NWU Vaal.... happy birthday - to us!”
You’ve guessed it! It is party time...
Quack! Our University and beautiful campus is celebrating its 10th
anniversary in 2014 and the year
promises to be jam packed with fun
and celebrations. In fact, I think we
should declare 2014 the year of Celebrations.
It is as if 2014 is literally the best year
ever to be alive – although being

times”. Quack! This is so true... at
least from this goose’s perspective;
we live in the best of times!

year is not too hectic, is to
buy the fantabulous Campus Diary!

I want to welcome the new flock of
first year students to the campus with
a sincere ‘Quack!’ and assure you
that you are in for the ride of your life!
As you make your way around our
campus, be on the lookout for me and
my feathered friends and rem
