UKZN alumni on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast re-connected with their alma mater and fellow past students at a lunch at the Protea Hotel Waterfront in Richards Bay recently.

The lunch was organised by the Alumni Relations Office of the Corporate Relations Division as a reunion, networking and information sharing event for alumni and friends of the University.

Promoting UKZN’s ongoing interventions, developments and achievements, Vice-Chancellor and Principal Dr Albert van Jaarsveld updated guests on the latest developments taking place at the University.

Van Jaarsveld spoke about the many activities and projects being undertaken to promote relationships and highlighted numerous achievements, including the current international ranking the University enjoys.

Alumni enjoyed the opportunity to meet and engage with the Vice-Chancellor.

Executive Director of the UKZN Foundation Professor Anesh Singh addressed the gathering on the various options available for alumni to give back to the University and encouraged all graduates to consider contributing financially.

Dr Rosemary Sibanda of the College of Law and Management Studies presented a comprehensive overview of the programmes available at the Graduate School of Business and Leadership. There was considerable interest in the information literature available on the courses.

The 75 alumni enjoyed the buffet lunch and lucky-draw.
