中国体育彩票 Osler

Osler is the commuter student community (CSC) for Tygerberg campus students who live privately or at home, rather than in campus residences. Established in 2010, it is the only CSC on Tygerberg campus and represents over 3,000 students enrolled in various health sciences degree programs at Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票.

The community includes MBChB, Allied Health, and Postgraduate Health Sciences students. Osler forms part of the TygerMaties Cluster, which also comprises the six residences on Tygerberg campus. All members of the TygerMaties Cluster belong to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Osler is a values-driven community that strives to embody its vision and foster a sense of belonging among its members.??

Osler provides a supportive community where members feel seen, represented, and empowered to grow as individuals. The community is committed to developing future leaders and laying the foundation for creating the world it envisions. Osler's values are represented by the acronym I CARE:
I – Inclusivity
C – Cognisance
A – Altruism
R – Respect
E – Empathy

These values guide the community's ethos and contribute to the development of well-rounded healthcare professionals.?
