Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Series Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement Interviews with 61 leaders from 26 universities in 17 countries written by 15 authors www.tnlc.org/lcem 1 Dedication to the memory of a pioneering leader and champion of university civic engagement Professor Russel Botman, Former Rector and Vice-Chancellor of Stellenbosch University “Africa needs a new generation of responsible leaders who will be willing to place the public good before self-interest.” Professor Botman is one of the pioneers of higher education transformation in South Africa. His legacy speaks of Hope, not as goodwill sentiment, but as a palpable directive for efforts in teaching and learning, community engagement and research. We will remember him for his commitment to promote innovation and inclusivity of an institution that can stand as an African and International beacon in Higher Education. Professor Botman displayed courage, patience and determination in seeking solutions to many of his university’s most difficult challenges. Botman was born in Bloemfontein on October 18 1953. In 1976, the year of the Soweto uprising, he led his fellow students in human rights protests against apartheid laws. He was ordained in 1982, he served as minister of religion of the Wynberg congregation of the Dutch Reformed Mission Church from 1982 to 1993. In 1994, he joined the University of Western Cape as a senior lecturer in practical theology. Botman was promoted to associate professor and dean of the faculty of religion and theology in 1999. In 2000, he joined Stellenbosch University as a professor in missiology and public theology. He became vice-rector for teaching at Stellenbosch University in 2002 and served in that position until his historic appointment as the institution’s first black rector and vice-chancellor in 2007. He served as president of the South African Council of Churches from 2003 to 2007. In 2010, Botman launched the university’s Hope Project, a groundbreaking science- for-society initiative. In 2013, he guided the university to the adoption of its new vision 2030, which was to become more inclusive, innovative and future-focused. In March, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Hope College in Michigan for leadership in higher education and the Reformed church to promote a more just society for all South Africans. He received Princeton Theological Seminary’s Abraham Kuyper Prize for Excellence in Theology and Public Life in April 2013. Botman received honorary membership of the United Nations Association of South Africa for advancing the Millennium Development Goals. Botman was an internationally known theologian who advised the World Alliance of Reformed Churches in Geneva on several topics. 2 Table of Contents ARGENTINA
