2008 Annual Report

The theme of our 2008 annual report is inspired by our pay-off line, Innovation through diversity. These characteristics run across all our activities and operations, from our academic offerings to the research we conduct, to our management
model, campus structure, student body, community engagement and sports achievements.

"Since the merger, the NWU has always considered the unique diversity of the NWU
community as an asset instead of a drawback. I believe that, if managed carefully, diversity contributes towards synergy – in other words it allows the NWU to
be more than the sum of its parts. Over the years, I have often witnessed how the combination of the unique talents, expertise and qualities of our diverse community lead to fresh, innovative ideas."
