Now is the time for our graduates to be part of that change. Alumni representatives on Council are essential for a successful turnaround, providing the independence needed to move forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Alumni are defined as graduates or former students of a particular school, college, or university.<\/p>\n<p>Mkhonza described alumni as the \u201csecret\u201d to a successful university recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe momentum is incredible! With 455+ registrations already in, the UNESWA alumni community is showing up loud and clear. From Pius XII College to UNESWA, your engagement is what shapes our future. Wednesday, 11 February, is your last chance to nominate the two (2) Alumni Representatives to the University Council.
