They were enrolled at the UFS Centre for Universal Access and Disability Support (CUADS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graduates include three deaf students (sign language users), 19 students with learning difficulties, 14 with mobility impairments, and 12 with visual impairments of whom two are completely blind. They are part of the 8 628 graduates who walked the red carpet during the seven-day graduation events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlights saw Londiwe Mabaso get a feather in her cap, being presented the prestigious Dean\u2019s Medal on Thursday (20\/04), and the all-conquering athlete Louzanne Coetzee attained a postgraduate diploma in Business Administration (with distinction) on Wednesday (19\/04). Mabaso\u2019s recognition was for achieving the best results for a first degree in the Faculty of Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Coetzee\u2019s fourth qualification from the UFS. Born blind due to a hereditary condition called Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), Coetzee has a BA degree in Integrated and Corporative Marketing Communication, a BA honours qualification in Integrated and Corporative Marketing Communication, and a master\u2019s degree in Social Cohesion and Reconciliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time a student with a disability received a Dean\u2019s Medal,\u201d said Lacea Loader. Loader explained that Mabaso overcame many barriers as a deaf student to accomplish her goal by attaining her education qualification with distinction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proud graduate from the Eastern Cape explained that a yearning to help hearing-impaired learners in the classroom is what convinced her to pursue the programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could not believe that I was the one receiving the Dean\u2019s Medal, I was so excited. Seeing everyone in the Callie Human Centre praising me for my achievement gave me such confidence. I felt like the star of the day, as some people asked to take pictures with me,\u201d said Mabaso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She credits the university\u2019s CUADS centre for providing sufficient support to assist with her studies. \u201cThe centre ensured that I had access to everything I needed, including financial support, interpreters, and tutors,\u201d said Mabaso, adding that the achievement has motivated her in her plans to enrol for her honours degree in 2024 and become a lecturer one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is the list of qualifications attained by the 49 graduates, during the 19 separate ceremonies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural and Agricultural Sciences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B.
