As Vice Chancellor of Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, it gives me great pleasure to thank you all
from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this esteemed institution, and to
look forward to your continued involvement in the coming years as we march
together to new heights of achievement.
In this regard, I am pleased to inform you that AWKUM is introducing its
newly created "Alumni Network Portal" - to stay in touch with our alumni, "to
construct a lively alumni network, sustain unending relationships, and find
invaluable alumni potential." This site will allow us to keep in touch with all
alumni on a single platform.
When an institution is in its early stages, it must work hard to create its brand
value by creating outstanding infrastructure, hiring well-qualified and
experienced faculty members, and offering innovative and relevant education
programs. The institution must educate its students with the sole goal of
transforming them into global citizens with great knowledge in their chosen
discipline and interpersonal skills, societal engagement, and respect for all
cultures.
If graduates perform well in their real lives after leaving the institution's portals,
society begins to recognize the institution, and the institution's brand value
begins to rise, and this brand value of the institution begins to contribute value
to its graduates. As a result, it becomes a cyclic process. Both the institution and
its alumni must respect the relationship that exists between them since it brings
value to both of them. The alumni association's only aim is to bring all alumni
together regularly to exchange ideas on how to make their alma mater relevant
to society in changing times, as well as to assist institution administrators in
implementing ideas to make the institution relevant for all generations.
I recommend that every AWKUM alumnus and alumni from its constituent
colleges heartily reciprocate for the expansion of "AWKUM" by registering on
this portal. It will be an honour to follow you all as you embark on an eventful
and rewarding journey in your profession and life after graduating from
AWKUM.
Best wishes in all your endeavours
