Alumni Relations across universities worldwide are undergoing a profound transformation. Today, engagement goes beyond updates and networking to focus on lifelong learning, meaningful connections, and active involvement in the development of alma maters. Recent global trends have accelerated this shift, calling for strategies that foster continuous and mutually beneficial relationships between graduates and their institutions.

This evolution underscores the importance of cross-university collaboration in alumni relations. By sharing best practices, insights, and networks, institutions can develop integrated engagement frameworks that strengthen alumni communities, support professional and personal growth, and enhance the collective impact of graduates on society.

USIU-Africa, Catholic University, Multimedia University, KCA University, and Africa Nazarene University, convened on Thursday 19th March 2026 at The Technology Park Mang’u Campus.
