The University of Cape Town has a diverse and widely distributed community, which includes students, academic staff, PASS staff, alumni, parents, guardians and more. In order to keep this community updated about recent, ongoing and future events, the university distributes regular communications from the executive. These take the form of VC Desks, which are messages from the Vice-Chancellor concerning important events on campus; DVC Desks, which include university-related communications from each of the Deputy Vice-Chancellors; and Campus Announcements, which are released at least once a week to update the UCT community about ongoing events and to give notice of upcoming events on the various campuses.
