UJ Alumni Network
The UJ
Alumni Network is committed to helping you to maintain contact with the
University and its worldwide community and to keeping you informed and engaged.
It provides a range of opportunities for you to stay involved and
contribute to the life of our University.
The involvement of alumni is crucial
to the health and strength of UJ. Alumni provide important ties between
the past and the present, but also building blocks for the future. The Alumni
Network helps to serve alumni needs and encourage their involvement and
support.
The UJ Alumni Network identifies with the University’s positioning
and transformation processes. Its structures will therefore reflect the
demographic profile of our alumni; and its activities will support specific
values and principles.
The UJ Alumni Network is committed to being socially relevant, not only
for the University, but for the broader community. It underwrites the vision
and mission of UJ.
