During the month of May, the NWU has three Open Days on the three different campuses, respectively. The NWU campus at Potchefstroom was host to roughly 5000 prospective 2024 first years coming from as far as Namibia, and at least 15 different schools from across the province. The Language Directorate had the privilege of setting up a hugely successful information stall amongst all the Faculty gazebos.15 Interpreters interpreted Faculty information sessions across campus, demonstrating multilingualism in practice. Flyers with all the various multilingual pedagogies and information about the valuable BAQONDE contributions (e.g. Polokelo) were distributed.
