2024 Siyaphumelela Conference
On behalf of Saide, the coordinating body for the Siyaphumelela initiative and the Kresge Foundation, we invite you to participate in the 2024 Siyaphumelela Network Conference. This event will take place from 25-28 June 2024 at the Wanderers Club in Johannesburg.
This conference celebrates 10 years of the Siyaphumelela Initiative, marking its expansion from five grantee universities in 2014 to 20 of South Africa’s 26 public universities from June 2024. In so doing, we also recognise the generous support from the Kresge Foundation throughout this journey.
The conference provides a platform for key South African role players and international experts in student success to discuss evidence-based practices and national systemic interventions.
