Applied Information Systems Alumni Affinity Group launch
The launch took place at the School of Tourism and Hospitality and all alumni present were greeted with a goodie bag as they entered the room. This newly established affinity group aims to strategically increase our alumni members and improve on formalising their relationship with UJ. This will be achieved through alumni chapter volunteers who will be instrumental in bringing alumni closer together and providing graduates an opportunity to engage with a diverse range of alumni and reconnect them to their alma mater.

The chapter structure enables alumni to act in the best interests of the university voluntarily. Launching local chapters enables alumni to come together in a convenient, friendly, and consistent environment. Chapters serve as a source of information about the university’s objectives and strategic initiatives.
