ALUMNI RELATIONS

The fundamental goal of Alumni Relations is to support Central University College’s mission, and to include our alumni as participatory and informed members of the Central University family.

OUR OBJECTIVES

To foster a dynamic and responsive alumni association by establishing a shared sense of community among individuals who are committed to one another.

To capitalize on the time, energy and talent of our alumni through the development of volunteers and leaders in ways that deepen their commitment to Central University College and also prepare them for active roles in alumni affairs.

To establish closer communication links with past students, current students and the university.

To establish networks with successful Central University graduates.

To solicit funds to support alumni-sponsored projects in particular and the University in general. (E.g. Subscription, Alumni Dinner Dance, Vice-Chancellor’s Alumni Dinner Meetings and Souvenirs such as calendars, T-shirts, Car stickers.)

To organise regular social functions that would complement and strengthen bonds among fellow year group mates.

To send out, on quarterly basis, CUC News Letters via e-mail to all the members of the Alumni Association with the information on the achievements of the university, upcoming activities and profiles of fellow year group mates.

To help Central University College to attract and admit the best and brilliant students.

To design a programme to bring accomplished Central Alumni back to campus to share their knowledge and career experiences with current students. For instance, the Alumni will speak in classes, talk directly with students and faculty and hold special presentations to the entire University community. By this, students can receive information on what it is like in the “real world” and make informed decisions while in school to help ensure success.

To extend help to the students of Central University for job placement.

To motivate students from the University by awarding prizes to meritorious students who would exhibit brilliant performance during their period of study.

To organize programmes on personality development, interview technique and leadership development and education in health science.

To maintain and promote CUC spirit.

To extend every possible help to the University authorities for overall progress of the institution.
