Dr Nicolene Steyn is the youngest person to obtain a doctoral degree at NWU's faculty of law.When Dr Nicolene Steyn realised she may become the youngest person to obtain a doctoral degree at North West University’s faculty of law, she thought how proud her father would have been.

“When I video called my mother to tell her, her face and tears of sincere gratitude composed a lasting feeling of humility at the weight of the achievement, given my unlikely circumstances. “He also collected old exam papers and the like from schools. The latter, and his unique personality, made him an endearing and constant character in town for more than 30 years until his death in 2016,” she said.

“From a young age I realised I wanted to make a difference for my family. I believed that pursuing an education may one day offer me opportunities to do that. I worked hard at school, and enjoyed every moment. The awards and accolades did not matter too much but only confirmed what I needed to know: I was doing my best, and my best is what’s needed to make a difference.
