“Alumni represent the success stories of the

university not only as graduates but as global

citizens making a difference in the various

disciplines and sectors. The Alumni Relations

Office exists to ensure our alumni remain

connected and proud of their alma mater.”

Wherever they go in life, work and society,

they express themselves as products of

this esteemed institution. The relationship

between NMMU and its alumni does not end

at the graduation ceremony: there it really

begins.”
