Our next guest is Professor Elelwani Ramugondo. She is Deputy Dean for Postgraduate Education at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town (UCT). She obtained both her undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications from UCT. As a newly qualified occupational therapist, she established the first Occupational Therapy Department at Tshilidzini Special School, Limpopo Province, South Africa. She returned to UCT as an academic in 1998, having served as an occupational therapist in rural South Africa and the United States of America. Professor Ramugondo’s work at UCT over the past twenty-two years has focussed on leading with integrity, recognising this to be pivotal in advancing transformation and excellence as interdependent and interlinked concepts. As Head of Division for Occupational Therapy, she led a division which became the most diverse occupational therapy program both nationally and internationally in terms of its staff and students. During this time, she also spearheaded curriculum transformation of the Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Programme. Professor Ramugondo was appointed Special Advisor on Transformation to the Vice-Chancellor at UCT in 2015, and later became a member of the Strategic Executive Task Team, during one of the most tumultuous times in the university’s history. In these roles, she participated in complex, highly charged, faculty-based, and institution-wide dialogues which lead to impactful initiatives. We love to hear from you.
