On the 20th of September 2019, DEVS hosted a team of seven administrators from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), Johannesburg, who are researching best practices for graduate-level education.
Wits is one of the premier universities in Africa, and is seeking to develop closer ties to Queen's University. Says team leader Prof. Robert Muponde, Wits Director of Postgraduate Affairs, "I hope to be back soon to learn more about your amazing Wellness Centre, the International Centre, DEVS, CUST and other excellent programs. I felt we learned a lot during our lightning visit, and also that people here are keen to learn from our experiences as well."
