MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLORProfessor Nigel Healey
Fiji’s national university dates back to 1885, when Suva Medical School was founded. Over the decades that followed, other tertiary colleges and academies were established – to educate and train Fiji’s nurses, engineers, teachers, farmers and accountants. By the time Fiji National University was created in 2010 by the merger of these famous institutions, we had graduated tens of thousands of alumni. The Fiji National University Alumni Association plays an important role in keeping the University connected to this global family of past students. Whether you completed a certificate, a diploma, a degree or a postgraduate qualification from FNU or one of its constituent colleges, you are part of this family and we want to hear from you. FNUAA plays an important t role in bringing alumni together on a regular basis. Our Alumni Homecoming Weekends are now an established feature of the University’s annual calendar. The 2017 Homecoming Weekend was a wonderful event, with displays and exhibitions in Suva’s Sukuna Park and an alumni dinner for almost 200 alumni, who came from as far away as the UK to celebrate their time at FNU. |
MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENTMr. Prashil Parkas
In my capacity as the President, it is indeed a great privilege for me to be welcoming you all to the Fiji National University Alumni Association. The FNUAA is in its fourth year of existence and the sole purpose of the existence of our association is to support the University goals leading to its success. The FNUAA membership is inclusive of all those who have graduated from the colleges that later combined to be the Fiji National University. These colleges were the Nasinu Teachers College/Fiji College of Advanced Education, Fiji Institute Technology, Fiji School of Medicine, Fiji School of Nursing, Lautoka Teachers College, Fiji College of Agricultre and Fiji National Training Council/ Training and Productivity Authority of Fiji. I would like to thank the former Executives of the FNUAA for the initial work of forming the FNUAA and developing its functions ever since 2015. Their hard work and dedication towards serving the association members and FNU will be remembered always and this will serve as a benchmark to the newly elected executive to continue with the legacy. |
The Fiji National University Alumni Association is embarking on creating its own identity by having its logo.
President of FNUAA, Mr Netani Sukanaivalu said it is important for the association to have a logo as it is an independent body under the office of the Division of Planning and Development (DPD).
“Since we are communicating directly with other organisations and institutions outside the University, it is only appropriate that we have our own logo.
The Fiji National University has a distinctive role in improving lives of the community and the country.
Professor Jugdutt (Jack) Singh, a graduate and former faculty of the Fiji Institute of Technology now known as the College of Engineering, Science & Technology of the Fiji National University said the university plays a vital role in nation building.
