Institutional Culture

We have initiated a large Institutional Cultures Study that will be pivotal in shaping how the university works and enhances its institutional culture. 

A new naming policy has been adopted, and a revitalised Institutional Naming Committee, with extended representation from a range of stakeholders, has been actively involved in renaming Wits’ places and spaces.

In response to several calls to name or rename Wits’ buildings, spaces and places, several names have been changed. The emphasis has been on submissions that honour symbolic events, evoke meaningful descriptions of specific places, recognise women who have played key roles in academia and celebrate women who were involved in the struggle for gender equality.
