Hello from the USA!

Joha Louw-Potgieter, head of Organisational Psychology in the Faculty of Commerce and Johann Louw (Department of Psychology) are currently on sabbatical at Claremont Graduate University (CGU), School of Behavioral and Social Sciences on a staff exchange programme.

The School recently presented a series of continuing education short courses and Joha and Johann, together with Mark Lipsey from Vanderbilt University and Robert Klitgaard, the president of CGU, presented three keynote addresses. The UCT contingent has delivered a paper on the effect of the South African Government-wide Monitoring and Evaluation system and UCT’s response to it. They also highlighted the unique contribution that UCT is making in the areas of human resource programme evaluation and human rights based evaluation.

Due to the hospitality shown by Stewart Donaldson, the Dean of the School of Behavioral and Organizational Sciences, and his faculty members, the pair are spending a highly rewarding and stimulating time away from home.
