North West University Notable Alumni

NWU Alumni

After graduating, there are many reasons to stay in touch with your alma mater. These include being part of a worldwide network of NWU alumni who share your educational background, and opportunities to contribute to the future development of the NWU.

The University has two main channels for interacting with alumni: the Alumni Association and the NWU Convocation.

Convocation
The Convocation is a formal structure that promotes the welfare of the University and actively influences its affairs through representation on the NWU Council.

Alumni association
The alumni association is established by the convocation and comprises all who graduated and diplomated from the NWU and its predecessors. The objective of the association is to serve as connection between alumni and their alma mater.
Each campus has an external representative and an alumni relations officer who represent the interests of the respective campuses in the convocation. Please feel free to contact the following external members to represent your views on the alumni association.

In simple terms, the purpose of the Act is to ensure that all South African institutions conduct themselves in a responsible manner when collecting, processing, storing and sharing another entity’s personal information by holding them accountable should they abuse or compromise your personal information in any way.
We have to accept that we now live in an information age, and along with progress comes the responsibility for each individual to take care of and protect their information. To protect the individual’s right to privacy and guard against the abuse of information, data-protection legislation has become necessary, and therefore the Protection of Personal Information Act was enacted. The NWU aims to ensure that all processes and procedures are in place to manage personal information in an effective and correct manner as prescribed by the Act in order to maintain good corporate governance.
The unlawful disclosure of personal information to external parties exposes the NWU to legal risks and is a Level B infringement of the disciplinary procedure as contained in the behavioural manual of the NWU (which, in serious circumstances, could lead to dismissal). The NWU thus views this infringement in a very serious light.
The Act, however, cannot protect the individual if the individual does not take care to protect themselves.
We would like to stay in touch with the alumni of the University.
