Alumni Association

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.
