Greetings to SKKU alumni around the globe! We are delighted to launch the SKKU Global Alumni Newsletter and look forward to reconnecting with our esteemed alumni worldwide.

The Office of International Student Services hosted the “SKKU Malaysian Alumni Reunion” on Friday, June 20, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, together with SKKU alumni residing in Malaysia.

This Global Alumni Reunion marked the first-ever international alumni gathering organized to build SKKU’s foreign alumni network. The event was a great success, with around 50 Malaysian alumni in attendance. A highlight of the event was the appointment of Dr. Mohd Nizam Husen as an SKKU Global Ambassador. Dr. Nizam earned his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from SKKU and currently serves as the Dean of MIIT (Malaysia Institute of Information Technology) at the University of Kuala Lumpur.

We hope to reconnect with all of our global alumni. Please join us to stay updated and connected!
