The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) on Monday announced the appointment of Nashilongo Gervasius as Director of Corporate Engagement and Internationalisation.

Gervasius had been serving in the position in an acting capacity since July 2024, during which she coordinated corporate engagement initiatives, managed international partnerships and supported the institution’s internationalisation agenda.

The appointment, NUST said, strengthens the university’s strategic engagement with industry, government and global partners.

She joined NUST in April 2022 as a lecturer in the Department of Communication and Languages, contributing to teaching, curriculum development and student mentorship in areas such as digital communication, corporate communication and multimedia studies.

While serving as acting director, she coordinated institutional engagement initiatives and helped advance the university’s strategic partnerships. She also led the development and coordination of activities marking NUST’s first decade, highlighting the institution’s growth and national impact.

The university said her portfolio will also cover corporate communications and marketing, branding and creative design, as well as stakeholder engagement with government, industry and development partners.
The university noted that the appointment comes as higher education institutions increasingly strengthen global partnerships to advance research, innovation and knowledge exchange.
