- W1966226747 abstract "The contributions on this topic are based on a presentation we made at a colloquium organised by the Centre for Student Support Services at the University of the Western Cape and attended by participants from various universities. There is growing interest in the topic amongst student affairs professionals in South Africa, and we believe that the topic is of interest to student affairs professionals throughout the continent. In the presentation we explored the links between co-curricular activities and students’ academic lives. Our starting point is that planned and organised activities that allow for the intersection of the social lives and academic lives of students contribute to the holistic development of students. There are great strides made in intersecting academic and social lives of students in some of the universities and colleges in the USA. This presentation draws some lessons from those experiences as we explore the role of a co-curriculum in the African context and outline lessons to be learned from others’ experiences. We begin by identifying common features between the US and African universities. The first is that higher education systems in both the US and African universities comprise of large undergraduate education programmes. The second is that the systems have some elements of their colonial legacies of university lives that combined living and learning arrangements. Historically, such arrangements were made mainly for convenience because there were fewer institutions and the students came from various parts of the country or beyond their own countries to study and learn from scholars who were masters of their disciplines. In Africa, most countries had one university for the entire country, and some did not have universities at all and therefore sent their students to neighbouring countries for university education. Various arrangements were made to provide university education between countries on a regional basis, as was the case in east Africa, or made arrangements to split one university into segments offered in different countries, as was the case with the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland as one entity. Students had to leave their homes and stay in halls of residence, which in the past were referred to as hostels or dormitories. Housing in general was organised and regarded as a mere convenience where" @default.
