Harsh weather could not damper the spirit of students and staff of Damelin City Campus kick-off to the semester in 2014. The campus held their fun-filled Orientation Day on Friday 22 February 2014 at the Curries Fountain Sports Development Centre.

The Orientation Day was attended by about 300 students of the Durban campus who enjoyed themselves and would not let weather deter them. Let’s hope this perseverance continues throughout the academic year.
