CQCircle is designed to celebrate and strengthen connections between the University and honorary awardees; University Council members, Foundation and Advisory committee members; financial supporters and long-serving staff.

"Bricks and mortar do not make a vibrant university - people are the key. CQCircle people are part of this vibrancy and we thank them for their contributions," said Pro Vice-Chancellor Dr Pierre Viljoen.
