Endowment and Alumni Relations Unit History.

The Endowment and Alumni Relations Unit is an arm of the Registry, in the Central Administration Division. The unit plays a double role of coordinating the Endowment efforts of the university which comes in form of funds, and on the other hand, co-ordinates the Alumni Relations activities which include contacts registration, monitoring and the general welfare of the university graduates. The two sections are however under the superintendence of the Alumni Officer who is directly responsible to the Principal Assistant Registrar, Central Administration Division of the Registry.

The University Governing Council formally established the Endowment Committee in September, 1984 in an effort to complement Government’s subvention which had become inadequate for the provision of infrastructures and general development of the university.
