Message from the Chairperson
Dear Esteemed UNISA SBL Alumni,
As we emerge from the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reminded of the resilience and adaptability that define our community. The UNISA Graduate School of Business Leadership (SBL) has navigated these times with innovation and determination, and now, more than ever, we invite you to reconnect, reengage, and rejuvenate your bond with the SBL Alumni Association (AA).
Rekindling Connections
The pandemic may have paused our traditional gatherings, but it has not diminished the strength of our network. The UNISA SBL Alumni Association offers a platform to reconnect with former classmates, share experiences, and foster new professional relationships. Our online portal, UNISA SBL Alumni, is designed to facilitate these interactions, providing a space for meaningful engagement and collaboration.
Embracing Excellence through BGA Accreditation
We are proud to announce that UNISA SBL is embarking on the journey towards Business Graduates Association (BGA) accreditation. This prestigious recognition is not merely a testament to the quality of our programs but also a commitment to continuous improvement and societal impact. BGA accreditation emphasizes responsible management, sustainable practices, and community engagement—values that resonate deeply with our mission.
Your Role in Our Journey
As alumni, your involvement is crucial in this accreditation process. Your experiences, insights, and successes are a reflection of the SBL's impact and serve as powerful testimonials. By participating in accreditation-related activities, such as providing feedback, engaging in mentorship programs, and contributing to case studies, you help elevate the institution's standing and, in turn, enhance the value of your own qualifications.
Engaging in Community Development
The AA is launching a series of community development programs aimed at creating positive societal impact. These initiatives offer opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings, collaborate with fellow alumni, and contribute to meaningful change. Whether through mentorship, pro bono consulting, or educational workshops, your participation can make a significant difference.
Benefits of Rejoining the AA
Reengaging with the Alumni Association provides numerous advantages:
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with a diverse group of professionals across various industries.
- Professional Development: Access exclusive events, workshops, and seminars designed to enhance your skills and knowledge.
- Stay Informed: Receive updates on the latest developments within the SBL and the broader business community.
- Contribute to Growth: Play a role in shaping the future of the SBL and its impact on society.
A Call to Action
We encourage you to seize this moment to reconnect with the UNISA SBL Alumni Association. Your active participation not only enriches your personal and professional life but also strengthens the legacy of excellence that defines our institution. Together, we can navigate the post-pandemic landscape, contribute to the BGA accreditation journey, and make a lasting impact on our communities.
Join us in this exciting new chapter. Reengage with the AA, participate in our upcoming activities, and let's continue to lead with purpose and passion.
