University of Mysore Alumni Association

Unlike alumni association of colleges, a university-wide alumni association has a larger mandate. It seeks to bring together alumni of all the affiliated colleges together for the common purpose of interacting with each other and for working together for the advancement of the University. A University Alumni Association is a multiverse in itself, with a diverse composition of Alumni. The scale of operations of such an association is much larger, with a potential for engaging with hundreds of thousands of alumni.

The University of Mysore, now a hundred years old, has had more than a million students pass through its portals. It is to harness the creative and organizational energies of this large and talented population that the University of Mysore Alumni Association, UMAA,  has been conceived.
