Department of Alumni Relations

About Department of Alumni Relations

 

Since its inception in 1882 at Lahore (now in Pakistan), Panjab University has a long tradition of pursuing excellence in teaching and research. After partition, the University continued in its present form under a fresh legislative enactment of October 1, 1947. In the finest global tradition of the reputed seats of learning, which cherish links with their former students for mutual pride and enrichment, Panjab University Senate decided to create a Department of Alumni Relations in March 1969, and followed it up by approving the formation of the Panjab University Alumni Association (PUAA) in October 1969. The PUAA with the Vice-Chancellor as its President, and the Dean of the Alumni Relations as its Secretary, was formally inaugurated on 30th September 1972.
