Khalifa University launches alumni association

Abu Dhabi's Khalifa University has announced that it has set up a new alumni association to increase awareness, participation and academic involvement for both students and faculty members, Gulf News has reported.

"Our alumni currently hold leading positions in telecommunications, government and semi-government entities throughout the UAE," Tod Laursen, president of Khalifa University, said. "The establishment of Khalifa University's alumni association means that our current students can benefit much more easily from the mentorship and inspiration of their predecessors and our alumni can more easily network with one another at the upcoming events," Laursen said.
