Diploma
On the bottom of a South African diploma that I'm translating it's written "convener" as in "University convener" and "Course convener". I've never seen the word before in this context and don't know whether it's particular to the South African education system or not.
My dictionary gives "président" as a possible translation, but I don't know whether that would be suitable translation here or not.
Can anybody help?
TIA
