College of Business and Economics Annual Report 2017 57 Best years of my life so far! The University of Johannesburg (UJ) could not have provided me with a better experience of university life. Overwhelming at first (because of the BIG daunting campus and adjustment to staying at one of the female residences), but the variety of student activities offered, and friendly staff made it a wholesome experience – my home away from home. I had the privilege of having wonderful lecturers at the Department of Information and Knowledge Management (IKM) who cared so deeply about giving their students the best education possible and evolving their programmes to remain relevant in the market and future-fit. Over the years the IKM Department has managed to create such a strong community amongst their students and alumni based on principles of paying it forward, leveraging off our various experiences and a collective will to learn. I am grateful for all my lecturers, notably Prof Mearns for the time and effort in ensuring we had a “publish-worthy” research article and Prof Tanya du Plessis for the ongoing guidance and support she still provides me to date! I may have walked out of UJ with a postgraduate degree to be proud of, but what I value most is the relationships I have built - lifelong friends and friends who have become family. In short, if I could do it ALL again, I’d still pick UJ. MAAHLO VB Project Manager: ABSA EXCEPTIONAL ALUMNI
