The Alumni Association of University of Colombo

Formed in 1982, the Alumni Association of the University of Colombo is the apex body of the alumni of various faculties of the University, forming a link between its membership and the University. The Association was formed by the University of Colombo during the tenure of the late Prof. Stanley Wijesundera, Vice Chancellor with Mr. Tissa Devendra as the founder President of the Association. The Association has had many distinguished and eminent alumni as its office bearers. Today, the Association continues its role of fostering close ties between the student body, University and its alumni.

The Alumni Association of the University of Colombo views its role as “connectors” and thought leaders very seriously and to this end, not only conducts various programs and initiatives targeting the development and welfare of undergraduates and its members but also conducts public forums to create awareness and discussion in matters of public importance.

President's Message

I am very happy to send this message as we are launching the official website of the Alumni Association of the University of Colombo. I consider it an honour to be the President of the Alumni Association, as the Alumni Association is very special to me, having had a very long association with it and holding diverse positions in it over the past eleven years.

The main objectives of the Association are to promote close relations between the University and its Alumni, promote the interest of the Alumni in the affairs of the University, ensure that programmes are initiated and developed for the benefit of the Alumni and the University, and to assist the University in its development and pursuit of academic excellence.

We are looking forward to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 25th June 2015. We will soon thereafter plan our activities for the coming year with these objectives in mind.

It is a known fact that it is vital for any Association to raise funds to carry out and support its various projects. Many of you from experience would know this is no easy task. The Alumni Association is also continuously faced with this challenging task and we will have to make every effort to accomplish this.

As you may know, the Association was the brain-child of the late Vice Chancellor, Prof. Stanley Wijesundera who envisaged obtaining the co-operation and participation of the Alumni to look after the welfare of the University students, particularly the students who come from distant villages to live in the big city. The interaction of the Association with students, he thought, was necessary to prevent these students from straying from education, due to external pressures, and becoming tools of agitation of outsiders who use them for their own personal gains.
