Today marks the official start of our academic year, and it feels especially fitting and we are delighted to share a special message from Win de Wet, who is serving as Acting Rector until our new Rector, Bart Wielenga, arrives at Michaelhouse in July.
Win has been an integral part of Michaelhouse since 2002, most recently as Deputy Rector Academics, and now steps into this role with deep knowledge of Michaelhouse and its traditions.
Her appointment marks a historic moment as Michaelhouse’s first female rector, supported by a strong leadership and staff team. While we don’t make too much of titles, we do celebrate the dedication, experience, and steady guidance that will carry our boys forward in the months ahead.
