    Rockin’ with the Deans

    The Dean of Students Office invites Rhodes University staff, students and members of the Grahamstown public to participate in the third annual Anti-alcohol Abuse week which will be running from 15 to 20 February.

    The Dean of Students Office invites Rhodes University staff, students and members of the Grahamstown public to participate in the third annual Anti-alcohol Abuse week which will be running from 15 to 20 February.

    Although the Dean of Students (DoS) Prof Vivian De Klerk recognises that students are young adults entitled to make their own choices about their lifestyle, it is important to encourage a responsible approach to alcohol consumption.

    In the past few years there has been growing concern about the amounts of alcohol consumed by Rhodes University students with concerns including high-risk drinking, the impact of this drinking on academic
    achievement, personal safety, addiction and attrition.

    “In addition, there is growing dissatisfaction among the local Grahamstown population, who complain about unacceptable  noise levels and rowdy, drunken behaviour of students in town,” said the DoS Office.

    De Klerk and her team will be working with societies and the Student Representative Council (SRC) to provide events throughout the week that promise to entertain.

    A highlight includes Viv’s Variety Show where students will get the opportunity to see the Vice-Chancellor Dr Saleem Badat and all the deans perform.

    The show will be held at The 1820 Settlers Monument Tickets on Friday, 19 February and are on sale for R5
    in the DoS office in the Main Admin Block.

    Performers will include Larry Strelitz from the Rhodes School of Journalism and Media Studies, The VC’s ensemble, guitarist and singer Lucy Kruger, the Rhodes Chamber  Choir and the winners of the Has Rhodes
    Got Talent? contest.
