TUT FIRST ALUMNI CHAPTER LAUNCH

Tshwane University of Technology launched its first annual alumni chapter for the Faculty of Humanities on Friday, the 8th of September 2023. The purpose of the event was to celebrate its alumni and to set about a journey of working together with the alumni to give back to the university. “The event is to acknowledge our alumni and provide an opportunity for them to recreate society closer to home” said Professor Masupye Maserumule, who is the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Humanities. He further said that it is to see how an alumna uses their education and position in society to set a public note. “This starts with the commitment to support the institution that produced you, so that they could continue to produce more”, he said.

A representative of the event organizers, Dr Lerato said that the Faculty of Humanities hopes that by launching the alumni chapter, it will help bring about change in the institution and make TUT a greater university by having the alumni engaged with the university even after graduation.

In support of the proposal, Director of Advancement and Partnership, Dr Eric Pule said it is important to have and maintain a tangible relationship with the alumni as they play a huge role in the institution. “We need to have this kind of engagement with the alumni , where we will share ideas and engage in opportunities in the industry and also about the issues that are affecting the university”, he said.

One of the alumni that were present at the launch, Ms Xolile Ntshangase said “It is a good thing that the faculty launched this chapter because it will help keep record of the student’s database and keep track of how far they are doing in their careers”. She further added that this resolution will improve the Faculty of Humanities in such a great way and that it will also help those alumni that need to further their studies in the institution.
