Convocation plays a vital role in the life of the University, serving as an important link between the Institution and its Alumni, and as a key partner in the growth of our University. Through the collective wisdom and commitment of our Convocation, duly represented by the Convocation Exco, Convocation helps to strengthen the University鈥檚 reputation, support its strategic priorities, and uphold its values. I look forward to working closely with our Exco members to continue moving the University forward and ensuring its ongoing growth and success.
