- Description: From Foreword by Dr Sizwe Mabizela: The results of the 2016 academic year were celebrated during a bumper graduation weekend in April 2017, in which a record 2 464 graduates were capped at 6 graduation ceremonies, 46% of whom were Postgraduates, 59% were women, and 21% were international students. A record number of 88 PhD degrees were awarded (up from 67 of 2016). We celebrated a new record of 29 PhD degrees for the Faculty of Humanities, up from the previous record of 19 achieved last year. The Faculty of Science produced 38 PhD graduates, the Faculty of Commerce 6, the Faculty of Education 13, and the Faculty of Pharmacy 2. All Faculties have done exceedingly well. Our warm congratulations go to all our Faculty Deans, Heads of Department and the academic and support staff who made this possible. , A publication of the Rhodes University Research Office, compiled and edited by: Tarryn Gillitt, Thumeka Mantolo, Jill Macgregor and Jaine Roberts.

- Description: From Foreword by Dr Sizwe Mabizela: A further feature of research at Rhodes University has long been international collaborations, many of them responsible for raising the international competitiveness and voice of scholarship involving Rhodes academics and students. In March 2015, Rhodes University became a founder member of the African Research Universities’ Alliance (ARUA), launched at the African Higher Education Summit in Senegal. Leading universities with strong programmes of research and Postgraduate training formed the network of 16 institutions, which aim to bring together intersecting and complementary strengths in the interest of building critical mass in the key development priorities of the African continent. , A publication of the Rhodes University Research Office, compiled and edited by Tarryn Gillitt, Busi Goba, Patricia Jacob, Jill Macgregor and Jaine Roberts.

- Description: From Foreword by Dr Sizwe Mabizela: In the year under review, individual academics continued to receive widespread recognition for their work. Particularly noteworthy were the accolades that Distinguished Professor Tebello Nyokong continued to attract. In 2014 she was chosen as one of South Africa’s 21 Icons. Professor Nyokong was also appointed by United Nations Secretary- General Ban Ki-Moon to the High-Level Panel on Technology Bank For Least Developed Countries. Money cannot buy the kind of positive profile that Professor Nyokong brings to Rhodes. Professor Janice Limson was awarded the DST/NRF SARChI Chair in Science Communication. This brought to 11 the number of SARChI Chairs awarded to Rhodes University. Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka was appointed as the inaugural Director of the new Postgraduate Studies Centre, to lead and manage the provision of additional support for enhancing the quality, quantity, and equity of our Postgraduate population. , A publication of the Rhodes University Research Office, compiled and edited by Jaine Roberts, Tarryn Gillitt, Thumeka Mantolo, Patricia Jacob and Jill Macgregor.
