to the University of Pretoria’s First-Year Welcome Day 2026, where the SEMLI team had the opportunity to engage directly with students and raise awareness of the wide range of services available to support their health and wellbeing.

Beyond our ongoing involvement in research and our close alignment with the Faculty of Health Sciences, SEMLI is proud to be an active part of the UP community — connecting, supporting, and contributing to student success from the very beginning.

We value these moments of engagement that strengthen our role within the UP family.

🏆 We’re proud of our place on the global stage!
