Introduction: |
| |
The
University Council in its meeting on 26/3/1993
recommended the creation of an alumni council to build
links between the university and its graduates and so
that the society could benefit from the expertise abound
in the university. In December 1994 the Vice -
Chancellor of the University issued decision No. (23/94)
to establish an alumni administration. |
| |
|
| |
Concomitant with this was establishment
of the University of Khartoum Graduates Union as a
natural development of the “University Call Project”,
i.e Nafir, that established a firm relationship
between the university and its graduates. An interim
Council of the Union was created headed by the Hon.
Justice Abel Alier together with an executive committee
chaired by Dr. Ismail Al Haj Musa. On 12/10/2002
Engineer Kamal Ali Mohammed – Chairman of the University
Council-issued the basic regulations for the Graduates
Affairs Administration (GAA) making the administration
an official body founded on regulations commensurate
with the university ordinances and regulations and is
accountable before the university administration and
councils in executing the tasks within its area of
competence. |
