As we near the end of 2024, the UJ Alumni Office reflects on a year filled with milestones in alumni engagement, data management, and impactful initiatives. The Alumni Impumelelo magazine continued to celebrate the success of distinguished alumni through its 12th and 13th editions, while the current 14th edition aligns with UJ’s Vision 2035. Alongside these publications, regular Convocation Newsletters kept the alumni community informed. A new marketing initiative, launched this year, introduced an animated video to enhance alumni engagement, emphasizing the benefits of the Alumni Connect platform. This year also saw significant growth in alumni membership and fundraising, including the launch of a tiered membership program in partnership with Road Cover. The UJ Alumni Office’s database grew to over 245,000 alumni, facilitated by improved data management systems. Additionally, a range of Affinity Group events, from the Sounds of Democracy concert to global alumni engagement dinners, strengthened community ties and fostered collaboration. We extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated Alumni Office staff, including Ms. Kopano Manoto (Database Admin Officer), Mr. Victor Khangale (Integrated Marketing Coordinator), Ms. Angela Silinda (Events Coordinator), and Ms. Tshegofatso Peteke (Social Media Assistant), for their continued commitment and hard work. As UJ moves toward Vision 2035, the ongoing engagement and support of alumni will continue to shape the university’s future success.
