Public Relations Committee Chairperson, Kalekye Mumo

from our activities. If you have not registered as a member of the Alumni Association, I encourage you to follow the link on our website found here. We rolled out a volunteer program last year and we have constantly been requesting as many volunteers as possible to sign up and support in implementation of alumni programs and activities. If you haven’t signed up you can do so here

Benefits

Benefits stand out as a key pillar that is necessary for the growth of the Association and we are committed to secure them for our members. Apart from the existing benefits such as library access, 10% tuition waiver for graduate students, networking and mentorship opportunities, among others, we are in continuous conversations with selected service providers to offer benefits to our members.

This year, we gave a 50% discount extended by our alumnus to the recently graduated class of 2017 to register their domains and establish themselves as brands. We also extended a discount for our alumni to bring their teenagers to participate in a week-long entrepreneurship training held in July this year. USIU-Africa alumni also received a 50% discount to attend the African Process and Performance Institute (APPI) training whose graduation took place in February this year. I also encourage alumni offering goods and services to offer discounts to fellow alumni by getting in touch with us on [email protected].

As alumni, you can also give back to your alma mater through mentorship, internship opportunities and guest lecturing. I encourage you all to stay connected with your alma mater so that we can keep taking our brand to greater levels.
