Development and Leadership Unit (DLU)

The DLU of the Division of Student Affairs at the University of the Witwatersrand, provides co-curricular development opportunities for students across all faculties that have a desire to develop themselves personally, socially and professionally.

Through the creation of a vibrant developmental student experience, we strive to develop and incubate a generation of change makers and innovators who contribute to the shaping of a better society, locally, nationally and globally.

Through Customised Programming, Experiential Learning Offerings, and Critical Engagements, the DLU builds spaces to grapple with ideas of excellence, innovation, collaboration, impact, diversity, and leading in relation to others.

Customised Programming The Development and Leadership Unit (DLU) offers Customised Programming. This entails designing programmes in partnership with various stakeholders based on their developmental needs.
Experiential Learning Offerings The Development and Leadership Unit (DLU) offers Experiential Learning Offerings. This is essentially coined as “learning by doing”.
Critical Engagement An open call for participation from current, aspiring and curious leaders! An opportunity for ALL students across all spaces to engage on leadership in the 21st century, and collectively challenge the status quo.
