Alumni

As part of our contribution to the NMMU 10 year celebration, we have produced a booklet “Lessons in Leadership”. This booklet was then broken down into posters which we displayed at the Open Days – as a form of a marketing tool to attract future students by seeing national and international MMMU graduates in top positions globally. All people in our booklet have been given recognition during the past 10 years of NMMU either as honorary doctorates or award recipients.

The 2015 Alumni Festive Concert celebrated NMMU’s 10^th anniversary on 6 May at the DRC Summerstrand and featured more than one hundred performers including the world class NMMU Choir with soloist Lucretia Sikwebu. Proceeds of the event went towards the Alumni Bursary Fund.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As much as NMMU is celebrating its 10^th birthday, it acknowledges the important role played by those linked to the university prior to the merger. Their success is also our success today.

Former students are kept abreast of developments at NMMU, invited to events arranged by Alumni Relations and encouraged to invest in the university’s exciting future.
