Good Turn Out at Alumnus Lunch in Scottburgh

BY: .

Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Dr Albert van Jaarsveld, provided a comprehensive overview of UKZN since the merger in 2004 and highlighted current developments, planned initiatives and the importance of giving back to the University, during a lunch at the Blue Marlin Hotel in Scottburgh for alumni.

Van Jaarsveld, Convocation Executive member, Mr Andre Young, and representatives from Alumni Relations and the UKZN Foundation interacted with guests.

Young welcomed the more than 50 guests and expressed how important it was for them to connect with their alma mater. He highlighted achievements at UKZN over the last decade and encouraged all alumni to make meaningful contributions to the University in whatever way they could.

Van Jaarsveld’s presentation was well received by the alumni who enjoyed interacting with him.

Operations Manager at the UKZN Foundation, Dr Rudi Kimmie, gave the vote of thanks during which he emphasised the call made by van Jaarsveld and Young for graduates to seriously consider making a donation to UKZN.

Amid much networking and reminiscing, a lucky-draw was held with prizes donated by the UKZN Foundation. Information packages were handed out to all guests.
