Preface

1. PREFACE

This report is a record of the 2012 centenary celebrations of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town. The inauguration of the Medical School on 6 June 1912 marked the birth of the Faculty and the one-hundred-year milestone was celebrated through a range of commemorative activities, events and initiatives conducted during this very special year.

The report, which is interspersed with images, tells the story of the celebratory year and documents what was done, rather than critically analysing the undertaking. It is not intended to appraise, but rather to inform, celebrate and provide a lasting record of an amazing year.

The centenary project was managed by a small core team, who embarked on this formidable challenge at the end of 2011. We had minimal resources, maximum enthusiasm, and were very soon faced with the enormity and extent of our undertaking. Yet, as the year progressed and we endeavoured to be as inclusive as possible, we garnered encouragement and support from many in the Faculty, the University, the alumni community, and many, many others. This report aims to acknowledge the generosity of all those who contributed to the resounding success of the year, and if we have omitted anyone, please accept our apologies and be assured of our gratitude to you all.

The creativity which emerged as we sought different forms to celebrate the different facets of the Faculty’s 100 years was remarkable. Although many of these suggestions could not be implemented due to time and capacity, the scope and reach of the centenary celebrations was nevertheless extensive, and the report provides an account of the academic and social events, the publications, and the media presence – in stories, numbers and pictures. While it cannot in any way provide a sense of the “gees” that pervaded every corner of the Faculty and its community during 2012, the report is testimony to the pride of participation exhibited through the involvement of every academic and administrative department, every student and staff group, as well as the greater faculty family and its supporters.

The year was challenging, yet exhilarating: we laughed and cried, we sang and danced, we pleaded and hugged - and through it all, we are deeply grateful for the privilege of having been part of a celebration of such phenomenal achievement. Our hope is that as you page through this report, you will feel some of the pride that was expressed by so many, and that you will be inspired to strive for even greater success in the next one hundred years.

1 Introduction

2. INTRODUCTION

2012 marked one hundred years since the University of Cape Town In the Medical School – later to be expanded into a Faculty of Health Sciences – was inaugurated on 6 June 1912, when the first medical school buildings, centenary year, of Anatomy and Physiology, were opened on Hiddingh Campus, at the foot the Faculty of Table Mountain. At the close of the 19th century, the proposal to was ranked establish of the first medical school in sub-Saharan Africa had been within the top preceded by intense debate regarding the potential to attract faculty of 50 of all quality, who were capable of producing physicians of quality. Yet 100 years faculties of later, the record shows that much has been achieved in the Faculty’s teaching, research and service, and this was endorsed by global recognition health sciences from our international peers in 2012, when the Faculty was ranked within in the world * the top 50 of all faculties of health sciences in the world.

Our track record over the hundred years has been exceptional, yet much has changed since those early years. The Medical School has grown from one dominated by the teaching of physicians into a Faculty of Health Sciences, which comprises a much wider range of health disciplines. Our curriculum has been modernised and both our education and research strategies have become more socially accountable in their goal of addressing the burden of disease and working towards building a strong health system, based on equity. From the early years, when apartheid policies governed all aspects of Faculty life, to the detriment and shame of many, our demographic profile has been significantly transformed, and we have witnessed substantial increases in our admissions of under- and postgraduate students from all corners of our country and beyond. Our staff continue to produce graduates of excellence, who are recognised as peers of distinction around the world, and our research is recognised globally for its excellence, but also for its relevance in advancing global health.

There is so much we can be proud of, and the commemoration of 100 years provided an opportunity to capture the journey in academic meetings, social events, and personal reflections from alumni, students and colleagues. All in all, the year provided the opportunity expressed in our tagline for the centenary: to reflect on the past, to celebrate the present, and to plan for building the future.

As we move into the next hundred years, I wish my successor, Wim de Villiers, and those who will succeed him, the very best. You are standing on a foundation of excellence, created by many wonderful women and men in the Faculty’s history, and you are poised to continue that stellar trajectory with the participation and contribution of many. My hope is that this account of a year of celebration will inspire your leadership journey and that the Faculty will continue to grow from strength to strength. Such success is not only written in the stars: its history of one hundred years is proof enough.

Key messaging

 Committed to transformation

The Faculty acknowledges the history of discrimination at the University and is committed to on- going transformation, including promoting access for students and staff.

 A need for support to build the Faculty’s future

To meet growing healthcare demands and continue our crucial role in bringing better health to the nation, the Faculty has to expand its core business in undergraduate education, postgraduate training and research. We require support, including financial backing, to do this.

3.2 Centenary celebration themes

The centenary was the ideal opportunity to reflect on the Faculty’s past, celebrate the impressive station it has achieved today and, most importantly, build its future. These formed the three themes around which the centenary was celebrated: Reflecting on the past, Celebrating the present and Building the future.

The three themes were incorporated into the centenary branding by colour (see Section 4).

3.3 Goals of the centenary celebrations

The goals of the centenary celebrations were to raise the profile of the Faculty locally, nationally and globally and to garner support for building the Faculty’s future, including financial backing for education, research and infrastructure.

The centenary was also an opportunity to highlight the significant contribution of the Faculty to addressing healthcare needs locally and globally through research and education. These goals supported the aim of creating a strong and sustainable future, with a view to improving the health of the people of South Africa and beyond.

Between initial creative options and subsequent iterations of the chosen design, over 40 versions of the logo were narrowed down to a final logo by the centenary management team, using the design skills of Jessica Blackwood-Murray. There are also a number of different versions of the final design: The main logo with a white background featuring all centenary colours, and versions on a blue and a red background for use on coloured posters or slides. Some of the versions include the strapline ‘building the future’ and some include the words ‘University of Cape Town’ for when the logo was used separate to the University of Cape Town logo. There are also simple versions that only feature ‘100’ with ‘1912 – 2012’. The text representing each of the three themes was also laid into the logo’s font in the three respective colours.

How it was used

The centenary logo was made available electronically to all Faculty staff members via the Heads of Departments at the start of 2012. Staff and students were encouraged to use the branding on their presentations and in their communication materials during the centenary year.

The different versions of the centenary logo were used in a number of ways throughout the year. They were used on all centenary marketing materials, for example on posters, banners, the centenary pamphlet, Faculty of Health Sciences vehicle branding and power point slides. They were also used on memorabilia, such as the ties, the hoodies and pashminas. The branding was also used on centenary webpages, internal communications and documents, for example event invitations and programmes. The logo also featured on the DVD of the short film on the ‘Faculty of Health Sciences at 100’ (Section 5), as well as the commemorative postage stamp that was issued by the South African Post Office (Section 6).

A mosaic design was incorporated as a

striking graphic into the centenary

branding. The mosaic was inspired by one

of a series of ‘body maps’ (artworks originally fashioned on paper) created by women in the Bambanani HIV/AIDS support group in a workshop run by Jane Solomon in Khayelitsha in 2002. The body maps depict the figures and life stories of these women. The mosaic used in centenary branding is Nondumiso Hlwele’s story about antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS and fighting for, and

celebrating, life. This mosaic design

appropriately represented the Faculty of

Health Sciences as it captures one of the major challenges in health in South Africa, while positively looking to the future.

4.2 Pamphlet

Development

A pamphlet was designed by Jessica Blackwood-Murray under the direction of the centenary management team, using the centenary colours and logo. A more detailed centenary booklet was also considered, but not produced due to financial and resource constraints.

Final product

The final product took a tri-fold format and covered the following topics: ‘Why celebrate the centenary?’, ‘Goals of the centenary campaign’ and ‘How can you help to build the Faculty’s future?’. It was distributed to stakeholders both within Cape Town and also internationally via the UCT Development and Alumni office foreign representatives.

4.3 Banners

Development

The centenary themes and colours, the mosaic design and the new logo were used in the development of the banners. There were a number of iterations before a final banner design concept and specific images were decided on. These were chosen to capture the range of centenary key messages.

A variety of banner types were developed to catch people’s attention in different ways: pull-up banners, lamppost banners, banners over the Barnard Fuller entrance and hanging banners in the cafeteria. Other banners were also initially considered but not developed due to lack of funds, for example banners on the blinds of the Wolfson Pavilion, banners on the walkway bridge over Anzio Road and a banner on the side of the Health Sciences Library.

Final product

The pull-up and lamppost banners displayed eleven different images, using the three centenary themes and colours: ‘Reflecting on the past’ (two), ‘Celebrating the present’ (two), ‘Building the future’ (six) as well as a general Faculty of Health Sciences centenary banner with the mosaic design on a white background.

The lamppost banners were printed on both sides and erected for the duration of 2012.

How they were used

The pull-up banners were used on numerous occasions throughout the centenary year. Many Faculty events took place in 2012 to celebrate the centenary and the banners were displayed in prominent positions. They were also used more widely (beyond Faculty functions), for example at the UCT open day as well as the UCT Open School's Science Day, both in April.

The pull-up banners were also displayed at events hosted by the different departments (Section 7) as well as events organised by students, for example the talk by the Minister of Health in April (Section 8), and at events overseas. Some examples of where the banners were used are: The Primary Health Care Directorate’s ‘art and medicine’ seminar, the Department of Medicine’s physician conference dinner, the Department of Health and Rehabilitation’s vestibular course and sign language course certificate ceremony, the Rural Health Awareness week opening, the Doctoral degree awards function, the Medical 10 race, the Paediatric pathology day and various departmental meetings and lectures.

The other semi-permanent banners were positioned around the Health Sciences campus for 2012 to get maximum exposure for staff, students and external visitors. The lamppost banners were displayed in places where they would have the most impact. This included the main access points on campus: at the top of Groote Schuur drive, outside the entrance to the main visitors parking off Anzio Road, after the access points on Groote Schuur Drive, as well as in the quad. This way they were visible to visitors, staff and students walking or driving past throughout the year. Two large banners featuring the mosaic design were erected over the main Barnard Fuller entrance, and three hanging banners representing the three themes were displayed in the cafeteria.

4.5 Centenary power point template

Development

A power point slide template was designed by the centenary management team using the centenary logo and branding. In addition to this template, a set of four slides with basic information about the centenary was made and used by the Deanery during 2012 when highlighting the centenary in certain presentations. These slides were also used at other events to highlight the centenary, for example at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology centenary dinner in November 2012.

Final product

The final slide template had both title and content slides with three options of centenary colours incorporating the logo.

How it was used

The power point slide template was made available to the Faculty via the Heads of Departments and could be used for presentations made in the centenary year. The template was used for presentations throughout 2012 by a wide range of groups within the Faculty, from the Department of Human Biology, to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Department of Public Health and Family Medicine, the Child Nurse Practice Development Initiative and the Division of Paediatric Medicine at the School of Child and Adolescent Health. Students at the Undergraduate Research Day also used the template. The slides were also used beyond UCT, for example, three academic staff members and four clinical educators from the Division of Physiotherapy used the slides when presenting on a range of topics at the South African Society of Physiotherapy Congress held in Bloemfontein in March 2012.

The Faculty of Health Sciences webpages also advertised centenary events on a regular basis.

Statistics show an increase in the number of times the Faculty’s website was visited in 2012 compared to previous years. The centenary will have contributed to this rise in website traffic, resulting in increased publicity for the Faculty.

Live-streamings of centenary events were also shown via the Faculty’s website. The Wolfson Colloquium, the Anniversary day commemoration as well as the Centenary Debate were live streamed from the website. This generated more publicity for the Faculty and allowed staff members off-site to engage with these events (indeed, feedback was received from senior staff members who expressed their gratitude for being able to ‘dial in’ from international locations).

A new Faculty of Health Sciences Centenary Facebook page was created in anticipation of the centenary year. The Facebook page was used to advertise centenary events, for example the Sing the Body Electric concert, the history tour and the anniversary day celebration. It was also used for centenary news as well as advertising centenary memorabilia. The Facebook page was updated regularly by the Faculty’s ICTS web content coordinator, Carmen Louw. With time, the page became used for Faculty of Health Sciences news and events in general, not only for the centenary, and in 2013 the page transformed into a general Faculty Facebook page.

Another social networking site where the centenary was covered is LinkedIn. This coverage was via the Faculty’s alumni and staff and of the UCT Development and Alumni Department.

The Faculty’s twitter account (https://twitter.com/UCTHealthSci) was used to keep users updated on events. Comments were also regularly tweeted by users. The centenary debate in December raised particular interest on twitter and 595 tweets relating to this were posted.

4.8 Internal communication

Internal communication within the Faculty of Health Sciences

The Faculty of Health Sciences Newsletter started covering the lead up to the centenary in 2011. The June issue included an article on the Faculty turning 99 on the 6th and launching the centenary planning phase with an event on this day. In the October 2011 issue there was a ‘Centenary news’ Section and in the November issue an article ‘Our centenary – almost ‘year’!’. The article introduces the three themes of the centenary as well as confirmed future events. In 2012 the Faculty of Health Sciences Newsletter featured forthcoming events, past events (including pictures from various centenary events that had already occurred) as well as advertisements for the centenary memorabilia. The anniversary day celebration in particular, was given strong coverage.

Internal communication in the Faculty also included info-mailer emails to all Faculty staff. They were sent out regularly to alert staff to upcoming activities (including specific ‘centenary Newsflashes’).

Posters, displayed across campus, were regularly used to advertise events to staff and students. Staff members were also updated about the centenary verbally by members of the Deanery at events or meetings they were present at during 2012. Heads of Departments were updated at their regular meetings with a view to them in turn updating their departments.

Internal communication within UCT

The centenary was not only covered in Faculty of Health Sciences news, but also University wide. The University’s newspaper, the Monday Paper, covered the centenary in various ways that will be discussed in the next Section (4.9) of the report. The ‘Daily News’ link of the UCT website also featured the centenary. The UCT homepage featured a link to the centenary webpages throughout the year.

The UCT Alumni News Publication of 2012 also featured articles on the centenary. The cover was dedicated to ‘100 years of health sciences’, with a photo of the oldest known living graduate and the youngest graduate of the Faculty. The publication featured an article about them titled ‘Old School and New School: Meet the Health Sciences faculty’s oldest and youngest alumni’. The publication also featured an article on the centenary by the Dean, Professor Marian Jacobs. This publication is sent to all UCT alumni for which the university has contact details, and so has a very broad reach. It is sent in hard copy to around 74 000 alumni,

22

Communications and marketing as well as by email to a distribution list of 50 000 alumni. These two lists overlap. An Alumni e- newsletter also covered the centenary in 2012 with links to the pledge form and calendar of events.

The UCT Communications and Marketing Department also had their own Faculty of Health Sciences centenary banners made, which they displayed at UCT events, for example at senior leadership meetings and committee meetings, which meant publicity for the Faculty and the centenary.

The launch of the 2011 Research Report of the University was held on the Faculty’s campus in 2012 in recognition of the centenary, and this milestone was highlighted in the event’s presentations. The invited audience at the launch was from across UCT.

Two of these memorabilia initiatives were particularly special; the centenary branded wine and the commemorative medallion set.

The centenary branded merlot and shiraz were produced by Dunstone winery, a small family owned boutique private cellar situated in the heart of the Bovlei Valley. Here the finest grapes are hand selected, and crafted into top quality wines by UCT’s own Professor of Emergency Medicine, Lee Wallis.

A limited edition set of three medallions were minted to mark the centenary: a gold coin (1 ounce of 18 carat gold), a silver coin (one ounce) and a bronze medallion to complete the set. The coins are all 38 mm in diameter and packaged together in a stylish presentation box. The coins are engraved with a unique centenary motif designed by one of the Faculty’s professors, Raj Ramesar. Each set was sold with a certificate of authenticity. The coins were manufactured and packaged by the Cape Mint, of the Pagliari Group.

Audio visual inserts

The concert covered the Faculty’s history over the past 100 years by means of audio visual commentary on each decade followed by music, song and dance reflecting each era. The content for the audio visual inserts was developed with the assistance of four academics dubbed the ‘History boys’ by the centenary management team: Professor Howard Phillips from the Department of Historical Studies at UCT, Emeritus Professor David Dent from the Department of Surgery, Emeritus Professor David Beatty from the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health and Emeritus Professor Kit Vaughan from the Department of Human Biology (Biomedical Engineering) and former Deputy Dean for Research. They provided information and photos on the Faculty’s past, which were drafted into a script by the centenary management team and compiled into the final audio visual inserts by Terence Collings of 2C Productions.

The final product included 12 audio visual inserts which were projected onto the back of the Baxter Concert Hall stage. The first, silent, insert consisted of a series of still images of people from the Faculty’s past who have passed away and was displayed during the opening live musical piece. The subsequent 11 inserts of around 2 minutes each consisted of a series of images with a voiceover. These were displayed while performers were coming on or off the stage.

Events 5.5 Wolfson Memorial Colloquium

The format

The inaugural Wolfson Memorial Colloquium was a new event on the UCT calendar, originating from the desire to recognise the contributions given to the University by Lord Wolfson of Marylebone and the Wolfson Foundation. The colloquium was held on 4 September 2012 and was co-hosted by the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Professor Marian Jacobs, and the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Dr Max Price. The event was held on the Faculty’s main campus in Observatory as part of its centenary celebrations, in the Wolfson Lecture Theatre in the Wolfson Pavilion.

The Foundation has given UCT donations in excess of R24 million over the years. This has been used for various projects at UCT since 1995, including support towards the building of the Wolfson Pavilion – a central part of the Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine’s world-class biomedical research facilities. The event was an opportunity to highlight the research work of the Faculty, which has benefited from the Foundation’s support, during the centenary year.

The programme

The programme ran from 13h00 to 18h00, spanning a range of topics and disciplines. The theme of the colloquium, Generating knowledge against Poverty, was chosen to align with that of UCT’s Carnegie conference, Strategies to overcome Poverty and Inequality: towards Carnegie 3, which ran concurrently. Speakers at the colloquium were chosen to cover a range of health areas relevant to people living in poverty.

There were two sessions, presided over by the Dean and the Vice-Chancellor, respectively. The programme also included the awarding of Young Investigators Best Publication Awards for 2011 to emerging researchers, in recognition of their outstanding research. The awards were presented by the Faculty’s Deputy Dean of Research, Professor Karen Barnes, who was instrumental in arranging the colloquium programme with support from Carlette Hlungwani.

Events

The Wolfson Memorial Colloquium programme

The presenters

The presenters were all UCT researchers (aside from the keynote address) whose teams are conducting cutting-edge research with a focus on reducing the burden of disease associated with poverty. They were chosen to reflect the range of work in the Faculty from the basic sciences through to clinical research and public health, and to cover a spread of different areas that are relevant to South Africans and to people living in poverty.

53

Events

The following UCT researchers presented: 1. Professor Gary Maartens, Head of Clinical Pharmacology 2. Professor Valerie Mizrahi, Director of the Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine 3. Professor Kelly Chibale, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Director of the Drug Discovery and Development Centre 4. Professor Crick Lund, Centre for Public Mental Health, Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health 5. Professor Bongani Mayosi, Head of the Department of Medicine 6. Professor Di McIntyre, Health Economics Unit, Department of Public Health.

The scheduled opening address by Professor Nelson Sewankambo, Principal of Makerere University College of Health Sciences, was replaced by the presentation of Professor Gary Maartens, as Professor Sewankambo could no longer attend due to a family emergency.

The keynote address, ‘A new agenda for global health’, was given by Baron Peter Piot, Professor of Global Health and Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, also a major beneficiary of support from the Wolfson Foundation. He is an internationally recognised figure in health research who speaks with great depth of knowledge on global health. Baron Piot’s visit to UCT for the colloquium also had an additional benefit of facilitating meetings with various Faculty members, which has helped the University’s collaboration with the London School. UCT is the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s top African research partner, and this provided the opportunity for discussions on how to strengthen this partnership.

6.2 ‘Building the Future’ photographic exhibition

A portable photographic exhibition celebrating the Faculty’s evolution was put together by the UCT Main Library in collaboration with the Health Sciences Library. This focused on the Faculty’s buildings in the past and present, under the title ‘Building the Future’.

Development

The following people were involved in producing the exhibition: Jen and Irvine Eidelman took new photographs of the Health Sciences campus as well as Groote Schuur and Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, Saskia Vonk and Patricia Callaghan from the UCT Health Sciences Library conducted research and image sourcing, Jon Weinberg of dijondesign and Paul Weinberg of UCT Libraries were responsible for the design and production of the banners and Professor Howard Phillips from the UCT Department of Historical Studies provided images and historical context. Theresa Schoeman coordinated the project team and the involvement of the UCT Libraries. The assistance of UCT Manuscripts and Archives is also acknowledged.

Final product

Large, full-stretch, two-sided banners were used that can be assembled and taken down for display in different places. The banners display full-colour images with captions reflecting the three centenary themes. A time line was also included to highlight the evolution of the Faculty.

How it was used

The exhibition was launched on 6 June at the Faculty’s anniversary day celebration. The banners have so far been displayed in the Anatomy Building, the Health Sciences Library, the Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine foyer and the Main UCT Library on Upper Campus.

6.3 Commemorative postage stamp 50 000 copies of A new commemorative postage stamp was issued by the South African the centenary Post Office to mark the centenary. postage stamps were developed Development and sold!

In 2011 the Faculty submitted a proposal to the Philately Services of the South African Post Office for the creation of a commemorative stamp. To fast track this request and ensure the availability of the stamp by June 2012 for the Faculty’s anniversary, this service recommended the submission should instead come to them through the route of ‘ad hoc stamp proposals from the Government’. These requests reach them via the Minister of Communications. Associate Professor Gonda Perez, Deputy Dean for Undergraduate Education, contacted the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, requesting that he approach the Office of the Minister of Communications on the Faculty’s behalf. In February 2012 the Dean, Professor Marian Jacobs, received a letter from the Minister of Communications, Ms Dina Pule, who notified the Faculty that the request had been forwarded to the South African Post Office Board Chairperson. Design of the stamp started soon after this. The centenary management team worked with the Post Office designer, Thea Clemons, to create a beautiful, novel postage stamp. We are grateful to the Post Office team for their work on this to very tight deadlines.

Final product

The mural depicted in the centenary stamp is one of three evocative mosaics adorning the old entrance of the Faculty of Health Sciences library. The mosaic was inspired by one of a series of ‘body maps’ (artworks originally fashioned on paper) created by women in the Bambanani HIV/AIDS support group in a workshop run by Jane Solomon in Khayelitsha in 2002. The body maps depict the figures and life stories of these women. The mosaic used on the stamp is Nondumiso Hlwele’s story about antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS and fighting for, and celebrating, life. The commemorative stamp was launched at the 6th of June anniversary day celebration as part of the formal morning programme. A team from the South African Post Office attended the launch, and framed sets were presented as gifts to special guests by Post Office representative Advocate Makie Nobanda. Sets were also on sale to attendees of the commemoration ceremony.

50 000 copies of the stamps were developed and sold at post offices around the country. They were presented as sets of two in a miniature sheet contained in a souvenir envelope in which the story of the Faculty and the mural were told.

Dan Eppel did the final mix and Audio Network was responsible for the music. Photographs were sourced from the UCT Photographic Archive, Professor Howard Phillips, Professor Kit Vaughan and the Heart of Cape Town Museum.

Conversations with the so-called ‘History Boys’, Professors Phillips and Vaughan as well as Emeritus Professors David Dent and David Beatty, contributed to information sourcing on the Faculty’s past. A number of Heads of Departments provided information on their departments. While it was not possible to include much of this fascinating information in the film, some of it was used in other ways, such as the decade by decade audiovisual inserts at the centenary concert. A professional voice over artist, Anele Matoti, narrated the film.

Other people and groups who contributed to the development of the film are: Groote Schuur Hospital, the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative, the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, Lionhearted Kids, Lauren Pech, the Heart of Cape Town Museum, Richard McLaverty, Joan Tuff, staff and students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, and Paul Weinberg.

She later became the Head of Neurology at Groote Schuur Hospital (1976-1985). She was a human rights activist who was part of a group of doctors who took the then South African Medical and Dental Council to court over its failure to discipline the doctors who allowed Steve Biko to die through their neglect. The case was won. She was made an Emeritus Associate Professor (1997) and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science in Medicine (2001). President Nelson Mandela conferred on her the Star of South Africa, the country’s highest civilian award.

The renaming ceremony was attended by members of her family, fellow past students and members of the Faculty of Health Sciences. Professor Jacobs unveiled a plaque with Frances Ames’ son and daughter-in-law, bestowing her name on the room.

Body Worlds exhibition

UCT was one of the partners in the Body Worlds exhibition on show at the V & A Waterfront from the 31st of October 2012 for a period of four months.

Body Worlds and the Cycle of Life is an anatomical exhibition that has an established body donation programme and the informed legal consent of all those on display. It includes more than 200 plastinates – specimens preserved through ‘plastination’, which is a process of preserving human tissue invented in 1977 by Dr Gunther von Hagens. It is an original, ground- breaking exhibition that shows the complexity, resilience and vulnerability of the human body through anatomical studies of the body in distress, disease and optimal health.

9. FUNDRAISING

In addition to raising the profile of the Faculty of Health Sciences, an important aim of the centenary celebrations was to develop a platform The centenary from which to fundraise for building the Faculty’s future. During the was highlighted centenary year, groundwork was laid to prepare the Faculty for fundraising at alumni events moving forwards. in Vancouver, Los Angeles, London, During 2012, the Faculty developed fundraising materials (both hardcopy Sydney and New and electronic), released an alumni and donor appeal, held events both York locally and internationally that highlighted the need for support, inspected our processes for support of staff seeking funding, examined our funding priorities, explored potential funders, and, importantly, strengthened our relationship with the University’s Development and Alumni Department (DAD).

9.1 Fundraising groundwork

Relationship with the UCT Development and Alumni Department

The Faculty worked with the DAD office during 2012 to:  assess the Faculty’s current methods of (non-research-grant) fundraising  look at how prioritisation of assistance with sourcing funding is conducted  support fundraising for individual projects/programmes in the Faculty, as approved by the University Development Committee (UDC)  start putting in place new systems for sourcing funding  conduct fundraising linked to the centenary (though the Faculty’s alumni and donor appeal, and other methods, such as events).

The relationship developed between the Faculty and the DAD office during 2012 will benefit the Faculty moving forwards. Ongoing close collaboration with this office will benefit the Faculty through the advice and support offered in development activities, and by helping ensure approaches to external donors dovetail with approaches being made by other groups at the University.

Fundraising consultancy

An external fundraising consultant worked with the centenary management team and the DAD office staff during the centenary year to assist with development activity. This included work on

111

Fundraising

a development plan outlining proposed ways forward for fundraising in the next few years, investigation of potential donors that could be approached for priority areas, consideration of useful information to request from Faculty staff when they require fundraising support, and work towards a proposal for funding to grow the Faculty’s Information and Communications Technology infrastructure.

Fundraising support systems and processes

The Faculty of Health Sciences systems that come into effect when a staff member requests support for sourcing donor funding were looked at during 2012. This includes the process flow for requesting project fundraising support and the information that gets provided and reviewed. These will be revised to meet the Faculty’s processes and systems of approval beyond the centenary year and to align with the new UCT fundraising policy document (presented to the UDC in 2012).

Priorities for fundraising

For the centenary year, the Faculty’s needs were grouped into categories, to allow donors to give to areas that resonated with their interests. Potential donors were offered the option of donation to:

The Faculty in general: Strengthening physical, research and Information and Communications Technology infrastructure in support of consolidating and expanding our core business in undergraduate education, postgraduate education, and research

One of five areas of the Faculty’s work:  Promoting access, increasing student admissions and accelerating support for success  Supporting national health and development goals  Initiating new academic programmes directed at meeting the needs of a faculty in the next century  Revitalising our research strategy  Responding to African and global health challenges

These were not so much Faculty priorities as set of categories that together cover all of the Faculty’s work. All of the 2012 Health Sciences projects approved by the UDC for support fit within these categories, as could projects still targeted for approval by the UDC. In addition to this, the Dean put forward three programmes that she proposed the Faculty could strategically concentrate fundraising work on moving forwards.

112

Fundraising

Fundraising in these areas would be of broad (Faculty-wide) benefit:

 Strengthening our Information and Communications Technology infrastructure to support learning and research  Expanding our teaching platform with rural and under-served areas  Growing capacity for the clinical sciences

Centenary pamphlets

Two new pamphlets linked to fundraising were developed for the centenary: 1. A general pamphlet about the Faculty and its centenary – these were distributed to centenary collaborators, to people (partners/supporters) the Dean met with during the first half of 2012, and to the international DAD staff for use with their contacts 2. A pamphlet specifically for the Faculty of Health Sciences alumni/donor centenary appeal – these were distributed in either electronic or hard-copy form to 13,026 people worldwide (alumni and previous donors) 3. A pamphlet specifically for the centenary gala dinner held in New York in March 2013.

The two sides of the pamphlet sent out with the Faculty alumni and donor appeal. It was folded into tri-fold format for DL envelope posting

9.2 Fundraising activity

Centenary pledge form

A new Faculty of Health Sciences pledge form was developed for the centenary year. This offered categories to which people could donate, as described above under ‘Priorities for fundraising’. The Faculty finance office set up new fund numbers for each of these categories, so that income could be classified appropriately. Distribution of the centenary pledge form was extensive. The form was:  posted/emailed with the Faculty of Health Sciences centenary appeal  Sent out with the DAD alumni eNewsletter during 2012  Given out at the 2012 heritage society events  Given out at the five Faculty reunions held during 2012  Included for download on the DAD website. The Faculty of Health Sciences was also listed as a funding priority on the general UCT pledge form that was downloadable off the UCT website.

Coverage in UCT’s fundraising brochure and on the DAD website

The University developed a fundraising brochure titled ‘10 reasons why YOU should partner with UCT’. This takes the form of an A4 booklet that DAD gives to potential donors and is also available in electronic format. The Faculty of Health Sciences centenary was covered within this as one of UCT’s fundraising priorities to which people could donate.

The content the Faculty provided for this booklet was also covered on the DAD website under the ‘Health Care’ section of UCT’s fundraising priorities. Donors could donate to the Health Sciences centenary directly via the DAD website (clickable ‘Donate’ button). The DAD website also provided a link through to the centenary webpages for more information.

Fundraising

Heritage Society events

The UCT Heritage Society was re-established in 2009 in order to acknowledge the commitment and support of donors who make deferred gifts to UCT through bequests. The old Barnard Fuller Society, which was formed at the time of the 'Looking on into the Future' fundraising campaign in 1995, forms part of this Society. In 2012, four Heritage Society dinners, funded and run by DAD, were held in conjunction with the Faculty to commemorate the centenary. The purpose of these events was to engage alumni with their alma mater and encourage their financial (or other) support towards the University in the future. The centenary pledge form was distributed at these dinners.

The first dinner was held in Durban on 6 August 2012. Professor Graham Fieggen, Head of the Division of Neurosurgery, gave a presentation to attendees. The following day a second dinner, also featuring Professor Fieggen, was held in Port Elizabeth. On 14 August in Johannesburg another dinner was held with the Dean, Professor Marian Jacobs, as speaker. On 29 August the last of the dinners was held in Cape Town at the MAC Club on the Health Sciences campus, with Professor Jacobs presenting again.

International events

The centenary was highlighted at a number of international alumni events during 2012. Events took place in Vancouver, Los Angeles, London, Sydney and New York. At least one of the Vice- Chancellor, the Health Sciences Dean, or a senior member of the Health Sciences academic staff attended each of these. Canada also held an alumni reunion event (for the class of 1982) in Vancouver, British Colombia, in early August. At this event, 22 alumni gathered for a three-day long weekend on Vancouver Island to celebrate the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The United Kingdom and New York events (and to some extent the Sydney event) had a centenary focus. The UCT Australian Trust alumni evening on 2 October 2012 in Sydney featured a presentation by the Faculty’s Professor Karen Sliwa-Hahnle, Director of the Hatter Institute for Cardiovascular Research in Africa. On 21 May UK-based Faculty alumni celebrated the centenary with a cocktail evening hosted by the Vice-Chancellor, Dr Max Price, and the Dean, Professor Marian Jacobs, at the Mall Room of the RAC Club in London.

Fundraising

A centenary-themed gala dinner, hosted by the Vice-Chancellor, was held in New York on 30 March 2013, to which alumni from both the United States of America and Canada were invited. After discussion between the Development and Alumni Department, the Communications and Marketing Department and the Faculty of Health Sciences, a decision was made to target specific areas for fundraising at this event: The Forensic Pathology Institute; undergraduate bursaries and early-career fellowships.

9.3 Other fundraising and sponsorship

The Medical 10

The Faculty benefited from funds raised through the Medical 10 race in 2012. A donation of R21,699.06 was received from the proceeds of the Medical 10, an annual 10 km running race held for health professionals across the Western Cape (see Section 10.3). It is organised by a team of doctors in their private capacity and is sponsored by the Life Healthcare Group. In 2012, to honour the centenary, they opened the event to all UCT Faculty of Health Sciences staff and students, and committed to donating half the proceeds to the Faculty’s ‘Students in Distress’ Fund. The Faculty’s centenary year connection to the event was initiated by James Irlam of the Primary Healthcare Directorate.

Corporate sponsorship

During 2012, corporate sponsorship was sourced for centenary events. Old Mutual generously donated R50 000 for the anniversary day event on 6 June 2012. Sponsorship totalling R15 000 was received for the centenary concert in May 2012 – R5 000 was kindly donated by Lilian Calitz, and two gifts of R5 000 each were received from Sanlam (with thanks to Pieter Bester and Theesan Moodley).

Collaborations beyond the Faculty

10. COLLABORATIONS BEYOND THE FACULTY

Leading up to the centenary, as well as during the centenary year, the Faculty collaborated with other groups within and external to the University in various ways. These collaborations have strengthened the Faculty’s relationships within the institution and beyond.

In addition, and direct collaboration aside, people from many other faculties and UCT offices showed their support for the centenary by attending the various centenary events during 2012, such as the centenary debate, centenary concert, anniversary commemoration, short film launch and Wolfson Colloquium.

10.1 Institutional support

Development and Alumni Department

The Development and Alumni Department (DAD) supported the Faculty with fundraising efforts during the centenary year, as discussed in Section 9. DAD also organised international alumni functions, linked to the centenary, through their connections with the Faculty’s alumni.

Four international events took place during the centenary year in Los Angeles, Sydney, Vancouver and London. A gala evening also took place on 30 March 2013 in New York that was hosted by the Vice-Chancellor and organised by the UCT Communications and Marketing Department, DAD and the Faculty of Health Sciences.

As part of the centenary celebrations, the 2012 UCT Heritage Society dinners were held in conjunction with the Faculty of Health Sciences. DAD worked with the Faculty’s Alumni and Bequest Officer, Joan Tuff, to organise these events, which are opportunities to connect with alumni and source funding. This was discussed in more detail in Section 9.

UCT Communications and Marketing Department

The UCT Communications and Marketing Department (CMD) is responsible for promoting the University and its work both internally and externally.

The University’s CMD worked with the Faculty during the centenary year in various ways. This included publishing of the Monday Paper ‘Then and Now’ series on the Faculty. The UCT webpage also regularly featured the centenary in the ‘Daily news’ section. The CMD also helped the Faculty in liaising with the media during the centenary year. In June 2012 they assisted with protocol regarding special guests attending the anniversary day commemoration and helped to

Collaborations beyond the Faculty plan the New York gala evening in March 2013. They also had centenary banners made for UCT, modelled off the Faculty banners, and provided advice with regards to the development of centenary memorabilia.

Office of the Vice-Chancellor

The Office of the Vice-Chancellor played an important role during the centenary year, especially with regards to co-hosting the Wolfson Colloquium and hosting the gala evening in March 2013 in New York. The Vice-Chancellor was also involved with the following centenary events: the Medical 10 race (at which he ran and handed out prizes); he co-hosted the anniversary day commemoration; and he attended the centenary concert, the international alumni events and the history tour.

10.2 Partnerships with other University groups

Faculty of Humanities

South African College of Music

UCT’s South African College of Music played an instrumental role in the centenary concert ‘Sing the body electric’ that was held on 16 May 2012. Amanda Tiffin, Head of Jazz at the College of Music, was responsible for the musical direction and arrangement of the concert. She rehearsed the Faculty of Health Sciences vocal and instrumental performers in each of their pieces for the show. Staff from the College also assisted in arranging logistics for the day. In addition, Ms Tiffin coordinated the Faculty of Health Sciences performers at the anniversary day afternoon celebration.

122

Collaborations beyond the Faculty

School of Dance

The School of Dance was also heavily involved in the ‘Sing the body electric’ centenary concert. The Director of the School of Dance, Gerard Samuel, was the stage director and choreographer of the concert. The cast also included a dance ensemble consisting primarily of students from the UCT School of Dance, and members of the School choreographed various dance items.

Department of Historical Studies

Professor Howard Phillips from the Department of Historical Studies was a key player in gathering information on the Faculty’s past to use in the centenary short film as well as the concert audio visual material. He also presented an address entitled ‘A Precarious Venture: the Beginning of Medical School Education in sub-Saharan Africa’ at the centenary history tour. He led the tour with Emeritus Professor David Dent from the Department of Surgery (see Section 5.3). Other members of the history task team, who provided information about the Faculty’s past, were Emeritus Professors David Beatty and Kit Vaughan.

Collaborations beyond the Faculty

Michaelis School of Fine Art

The Michaelis School of Fine Art suggested an event be held in the old anatomy building lecture theatre at Hiddingh campus and opened up the building for the event. This is now part of Michaelis School of Fine Art – The Centre for Curating the Archive. The resulting event was the centenary history tour, during which Michaelis allowed 70 people to tour their campus.

UCT Centre for Film and Media Studies

The Centre for Film and Media Studies produced the centenary short film in conjunction with UCT TV. Following initial discussions with Ian Glenn, Professor of Media Studies, the centenary management team worked with Lisa Drennan, Liani Maasdorp and Michael Klein to create the short film. Please refer to Section 6.4 for more information on the short film.

UCT Libraries

The UCT Main Library and Health Sciences Library were involved in celebrating the centenary. They played an important role in putting together a photographic exhibition celebrating the Faculty’s evolution, focusing on the Faculty’s buildings in the past and present. Saskia Vonk and Patricia Callaghan were involved from the UCT Health Sciences Library, Theresa Schoeman from the Main UCT Library and Paul Weinberg from the UCT Film and Photography Archive. (Please refer to Section 6.2 for more information on the photographic exhibition).

Collaborations beyond the Faculty

Sports Science Institute of South Africa

The Sports Science Institute of South Africa collaborated with the Faculty, specifically with the Department of Medicine, the Chronic Diseases Initiative in Africa and the centenary management team, in organising the centenary debate in December 2012. They marketed the event and had a live stream of the debate to their auditorium to allow greater numbers of people to watch the event live.

The Sports Science Institute of South Africa houses the offices and laboratories of the UCT/MRC Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine.

10.3 Collaborations external to the University

Medical 10 Race

The Medical 10 race is open to healthcare professionals and in 2012 this was extended to all staff and students from the Faculty of Health Sciences. It was advertised to alumni, staff and students via email and posters in the Faculty. It was held on 25 November and started at 06:30 from the Western Province Cricket Club in Rondebosch.

In total, 271 people took part, with 156 women and 115 men. There were 205 runners and 66 walkers. Dr Naomi Walker of the Faculty’s Clinical Infectious Diseases Research Initiative came third in the women’s category (with the age handicap the Medical 10 applies; she came second without handicap). Mr Richard Burman, a Faculty MBChB student, came second in the men’s category (with the age handicap the Medical 10 applies; he came first without handicap). James Irlam of the Primary Health Care Directorate, who initiated the Faculty’s centenary year link to the Medical 10 Race, came in at fourth (with age handicap).

Sponsors of the event were: Life Healthcare, Pathcare, Tuft and Partners, Morton and Partners, Southern Anaesthetics, Alpha Pharm Western Cape, Matley and Partners, Fedics, Royal Serve and New Balance.

Through this event, R 21, 699.06 (half of the total raised) was given to the Faculty of Health Sciences Students in Distress fund. The charity Eilandhuis, a care home for children with cerebral palsy, received the other half of the money raised.

Unintended benefits

11. UNINTENDED BENEFITS

Aside from the intended positive outcomes from the centenary, the Faculty benefited in a number of unanticipated ways. These benefits range from operational improvements to the exposure of multiple talents within the Faculty and will have a positive impact far beyond the centenary year.

11.1 Operational improvements

In preparation for the centenary and especially in the lead up to certain centenary events, operational improvements were made at the Faculty of Health Sciences campus. Security cameras were installed in preparation for the anniversary day performance by Freshly ground, and the doors of the Frances Ames Room were fixed. Maintenance and repairs were done in the passage in front of the Postgraduate rooms to prepare for the ‘100 Ways of Being’ art exhibition being displayed there.

11.2 Improvements to internal communication

Internal communication regarding the centenary highlighted to the centenary management team that there were many Faculty staff not receiving these communications and hence that the staff mailing lists were incomplete. Faculty management and ICTS have been alerted that they should ideally find a way to update email lists. During 2012, important communications were also sent to Communications and IT staff at Groote Schuur and Red Cross War Memorial Hospitals to make sure the UCT staff there also received information on the centenary.

11.3 Groundwork in fundraising strategy

During 2012, the centenary management team worked in conjunction with the UCT Development and Alumni Department to assess the Faculty’s current methods of non-research- grant related fundraising, to look at how prioritisation of assistance with sourcing funding is conducted, to start putting in place a new system for sourcing funding and to conduct a fundraising appeal. All of this will stand the Faculty in good stead for fundraising efforts moving forwards.

127

Unintended benefits

11.4 Updated information about the Faculty

Various initiatives during the centenary year required information about the Faculty’s history, for example the dates and names sourced to make the centenary concert audio visual inserts. Some initiatives also required updated statistics on the current status of the Faculty, for example the figures used on the alumni appeal. This information was gathered by the centenary management team from various sources and is now available to the Faculty.

11.5 Formation of ‘HANDS’ vocal and instrumental ensemble

HANDS came about as a result of auditions held in the Faculty for the ‘Sing the Body Electric’ centenary concert held at the Baxter Theatre in May 2012. Two open auditions for all Faculty staff and students were held in January of the centenary year. Thirty vocalists and instrumentalists were then chosen for the concert and after this became known as HANDS.

The full ensemble was used for the ‘Sing the Body Electric’ concert and a smaller group was available for the ‘UHAMBO: The Journey’ show at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Some of the members of HANDS also performed at the anniversary day celebration. The ensemble was led under the musical directorship of Amanda Tiffin, the Head of Jazz at the South African College of Music. The two formal shows were supported by a stellar cast of professional artists, choreographers, dancers, actors and directors all of whom elevated the content and presentation of the pieces and in no small measure were responsible for the success of the group.

These people included Gerard Samuels, Head of UCT School of Dance (Sing the Body Electric - direction and choreography), Quanita Adams (UHAMBO: The Journey - actor, script writing and direction), Jacki Job (Sing the Body Electric and UHAMBO: the Journey - choreography and dance), Mbulelo Grootboom (UHAMBO: The Journey - actor), Garth Erasmus (UHAMBO: The Journey - sound scapist, artist), Liesl Hartman, Director of the Frank Joubert Art Centre (UHAMBO: The Journey and the ‘My 100 Wishes For Tomorrow’ art exhibition - curatorship, props and set design), Nix Davies (UHAMBO: The Journey - artist) and Marc Hendricks (Sing the Body Electric songwriter and responsible for production and visual design of the concert).

The future of HANDS now literally lies in the hands of staff and students of the Faculty of Health Sciences to organise themselves into a sustainable entity in the aftermath of the centenary. Apart from wonderful talent, there is great enthusiasm for the arts in the Faculty amongst students and staff, with the prospect of many wonderful projects on the horizon. The HANDS slogan is ‘Take My Hand, Change The world’.

128

Unintended benefits

Following the success of the centenary concert as well as the various other events where the Faculty’s talent was showcased, a proposal was made by Professor Gonda Perez, Deputy Dean for Undergraduate Research, in February 2013 to have regular lunchtime events where staff and students can sign up to perform. Performances can include singing, dancing, poetry reading, musical instrument playing, acting, etc. Staff wishing to sign up for the performances can do so via a special Vula site set up for this purpose.

11.6 ‘Stepping Stones’ short films

As a result of the relationship the Faculty built with UCT TV during the production of the centenary short film, we were approached by UCT TV in late 2012 for potential projects to be covered in short promotional or documentary films as part of their ‘Stepping stones young filmmaker development programme’.

This programme of UCT TV and the Centre for Film and Media Studies invited applicants from across the University to send social responsiveness projects or programmes that have human interest to feature in these films. The successful projects were made into short (5 minute) films of which the production costs (equipment, crew and facilities) were covered by Stepping Stones. The value of each production ranged between R20 000 - 50 000. This was a wonderful opportunity to showcase research or generate exposure for free.

In 2012, the following projects were chosen from the Faculty of Health Sciences to be featured as short films as part of this project: The Addiction Division, The Forensic Pathology Institute and the Heart of Cape Town.

For a closer look at the short films on these projects, which are available on youtube, please go to: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT7ltt4UgMw www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaVJ_Y5k-po www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l2aK-3a0Eo

The 2012 films were extremely well received and highlight the wonderful and relevant work that is being done by the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Unintended benefits

11.7 Strengthening the Faculty’s relationships within UCT

As discussed in Section 10, the Faculty collaborated with a number of other University groups during the centenary year, for example working with the Development and Alumni Office on fundraising, the Faculty of Humanities on the centenary history tour and concert, and the UCT Libraries on the photographic exhibition. This has strengthened our working relationships and links with other faculties and UCT offices, which can only be beneficial to the Institution in the future.

11.8 Strengthened profile of Faculty within UCT

At an institutional level, the profile of the Faculty was strengthened through the centenary. The various initiatives showcased the Faculty’s many achievements, and the Faculty’s ability to organise celebrations on this scale also positively contributed to our image.

11.9 Expanded social media profile

As a result of the centenary, the Faculty’s profile on social networking sites such as Facebook and twitter was expanded. A Facebook page was set up for the centenary where events were regularly advertised and photos uploaded. After 2012, this centenary Facebook page was changed to a general Faculty of Health Sciences Facebook page. The Faculty’s presence on twitter was also greater during the centenary, especially with regards to the centenary debate in December 2012. Please see Section 4 (Communications and marketing) for more information.
