The Centre for the Advancement of Social Impact and Transformation at Stellenbosch University provides dedicated support to faculties in embedding social impact, transformation, and engaged scholarship into teaching, research, and institutional practices.
We collaborate with academic staff to integrate socially responsive approaches that enhance both student learning and community engagement.
Institutional partnerships take the form of Memoranda of Agreement (MoU) between Stellenbosch University and various societal organisations. These MoUs are held by the Centre for the Advancement of Social Impact and Transformation (CASIT), and they commit the university into a working relationship with external organisations. The MoUs are managed through steering committees consisting of representatives from SU and from the external partners. The steering committees create opportunities for mutually beneficial collaborative initiatives.
