Goals of the association

The main goals of the Alumni association are:
• to bring together scholars and professionals from a wide range of academic fields and professional expertise, for their own personal benefits and the benefit of the commission.
• to promote global understanding.
• to encourage dialogue and interaction between international scholars, experts, and activists on topics important to the political, social, and cultural life of nations.
