First Consulting Alliance Empowers Future Leaders at Stellenbosch University


Inge Kotze, MC and organizer, addresses PGDA and Honours students at their year-end celebration.

In a night of celebration and triumph, First Consulting Alliance proudly co-sponsored the Stellenbosch University Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting (PGDA) and Honours Degree end-of-year formal function. This September 2024 event marked a significant milestone for final-year post-graduate students poised to enter the professional world.


A Journey of Growth and Resilience


The evening kicked off with an inspiring speech that captured the essence of the students' academic journey. One quote resonated deeply with attendees:


 

"It feels I am hardly moving, yet I'm covering a considerable distance."

 

This sentiment encapsulates the transformative experience these future leaders have undergone. Their year was filled with challenges and triumphs:


  • Tackling early morning classes head-on

  • Navigating their first consulting sessions with confidence

  • Riding the emotional rollercoaster of rigorous academic life


These shared experiences fostered a strong sense of camaraderie among the students, uniting them in their accomplishments.


First Consulting Alliance: Fueling Success


Our co-sponsorship played a crucial role in bringing this celebration to life. We provided students with a well-deserved break to:


  • Commemorate their hard-earned academic achievements

  • Build lasting connections with their peers

  • Create unforgettable memories before their final exams


The students' growth was evident. As the speaker humorously noted, they evolved from needing post-lecture naps (being exhausted) to eagerly requesting lecturers skip breaks – a true testament to their increasing stamina and passion for learning.
