Abstract

The period that framed this sixth volume in the Ad Destinatum series was marked by several significant events and developments, among which was the appointment of the Prof Cheryl de la Rey, the 12th Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Pretoria. The purpose of each volume in the series is to serve as a reference resource of a specific time period, and over time, to capture the unique circumstances that have shaped the University’s identity and academic project. In this volume, we set out to trace and reconstruct major institutional developments during the period, 2009 to 2018, which coincided with the development of the University’s long-term strategy, UP 2025. Three themes tie together the six chapters: leadership and the dynamic nature of change; the University’s time-place situatedness, simultaneously in Africa and in a global 21st century knowledge world; and thirdly, the need continually to recalibrate and realign strategies in order for intentional change to become embedded.
