About PAU Alumni Association
The Pan-Atlantic University Alumni Association (PAUAA) was conceived in 2020 and established in 2021, building on the then-existing School of Media and Communication Alumni Association (SMCAA), set up in October 2009. The constitution in place for SMCAA was reviewed and adopted in 2020, and elections for PAUAA Executives were held in September 2021. The Alumni Association, which consists of over 3,000 members, exists to promote continuous education and provide a fruitful and sustainable platform for networking among its members. It has a defined set of fundamental rules which guides its working procedures, memberships, elections and decision-making processes.
The PAU Alumni Office serves as a link to strengthen ties between the University and its alumni, and foster lifelong connections between members. We aim to keep PAU alumni informed, to be of service to them and to bring them together. The Alumni Association is designed to promote continuous education and provide a fruitful and sustainable platform for networking among its members.
