Operations Management Delivers Exam Support to Students
UBUNTU: Operations Management demonstrated their care and support for students with an event aimed at reducing exam stress and reinforcing belonging.
Monday, 10 November 2025
The Operations Management team put Ubuntu at the centre of a drive to support students ahead of the exams.
As part of a student-centred activation, the department supported about 60 students with essential exam-readiness packs.
The objective was to help reduce exam stress and to reinforce a sense of belonging and peer support.
The event also provided a space for encouragement between peers—students checked in with one another, shared revision tips, and expressed appreciation for the sense of care on campus. The result was a visible boost in morale and a shared commitment to finish the academic year strongly.
This activation is the first in a continuing series designed to ensure that no student is left behind. Over the coming cycles, Operations Management will:
- Scale support before each exam period, informed by simple needs assessments.
- Grow student leadership, with peer teams coordinating sign-ups, packing and handovers.
- Strengthen partnerships with sponsors and units across CPUT to broaden reach and sustainability.
- Share good practice — templates, timelines and checklists — to help other departments run similar initiatives.
The Department thanked Prof Mercy Makhitha, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences, Shoprite, the Marketing and Communication Department and Operation Management staff members for making the event possible.
Departments, alumni, and partners who wish to collaborate on upcoming drives are warmly invited to contact the Operations Management Department.
