The Alumni Relations Office helps graduates stay connected to Walter Sisulu long after qualification. Our programmes are organised around four participation pillars, so you can give back through community, mentorship, advocacy, or philanthropy, in ways that fit your time, skills and capacity.
Activated alumni can register their interests in the portal under Give Back. The office reviews each offer and follows up when a matching opportunity arises.

Support students and graduates through mentorship, workplace access, guest lectures and skills development.
Represent Walter Sisulu in recruitment, professional networks and public life to strengthen institutional reputation.
