Why it matters
The Wits Annual Fund in Support of Wits 100 matters because Wits matters.
As a Wits graduate the University's international reputation matters to you. It's a reputation built by alumni like you who have succeeded worldwide because of a world-class education.
We need your support to provide the same opportunities for future generations.
We need your support to preserve Wits University's reputation as a leading institution in Africa, to ensure it remains internationally competitive, and to maintain its legacy of social leadership and public engagement.
Wits graduates have become leaders worldwide in every field of endeavour. Through civic engagement, they have built cultural institutions, fought injustice, and worked to make their communities better.
