Executive Management challenges staff in blanket drive

Posted on by

The CPUT Executive Management is challenging all staff to participate in the CPUT Gives Back drive.

The Executive Management has thrown their weight behind the campaign, with each member donating a blanket.

They are now calling on all staff to do the same.

Staff have until the end of July to donate a blanket, which will find its way into the hands of someone who really needs it this winter.

Staff can also make this a team effort and get together with a colleague or two and purchase a blanket.

Contributions can be dropped off at the offices of the following staff members on your campus:

Bellville Campus: Yanga Malusi (Administration Building – Marketing and Communication Office, second floor)

Cape Town:  Samuel Meintjies (Administration Building –main entrance)

Mowbray Campus:  Alisha Salie (Switchboard – ground floor)

Wellington Campus: Loretta Adonis (Business Faculty – ground floor)

 

 

Hip Hip Hooray!

From cutting the cake to singing happy birthday, the CPUT 10th birthday celebrations kicked off with a huge bang.

The official launch of the year-long birthday celebrations was recently held on the front lawn of the Bellville Campus.

The carnival themed celebrations were attended by hundreds of staff members who witnessed the official cutting of the 10th birthday cake by Vice-Chancellor Dr Prins Nevhutalu.

As part of turning 10, the Marketing and Communication Department in collaboration with faculties, units and departments will host a series of events throughout the year.

All celebrations are themed “We Are CPUT” and will proudly focus on some of the unique innovations and trends set by the institution during the past decade.

CPUT is 10 and we want the world to know!

To mark this milestone, CPUT has embarked on a year-long birthday advertising campaign that will be featured in print, radio and online.

The campaign, which is spearheaded by the Marketing and Communication Department, drives the message #WeAreCPUT by proudly focusing on some of the unique innovations and trends set by the institution during the past decade.

The campaign is fun yet has an innovative take to it with all the lead images constructed entirely from balloons.

The concept of balloons also ties in with the birthday theme as well as the rest of the marketing and branding material that has been designed for the 10th birthday.

Balloons

For example, a fish depicts the revolutionary small-scale Modular Solar Powered Aquaponics System that was developed by Mechanical Engineering lecturer Fareed Ismail.

A cancer ribbon constructed from blue and pink balloons shows off the Omega Caro E supplement, the unique fish oil supplement developed by Prof Spinney Benade and Dr Maretha Opperman from the Functional Foods Unit.

Some of the other notable achievements and innovations that will be featured during the year-long campaign is TshepisoSAT, the Hotel School, Prof Jeanine Marnewick’s rooibos research, the research chairs, and our Service-Learning achievements.

The campaign’s two lead images are a graduation cap and the number 10, with the lead tag line, “We’re celebrating a decade of groundbreaking firsts, innovation and international acclaim. We’re proud to be at the heart of technology education and innovation in Africa,” complementing these images.

The campaign went live in January with print advertisements in local and national newspapers with the digital campaign set to roll out next month.
