As more than 9 000 graduates take to the stage this Autumn Graduation, the CPUT Convocation has extended its congratulations, celebrating a milestone that reflects years of dedication and determination.
In a message issued by Convocation President Issa Mapukata, the Convocation stated: “Today marks a significant milestone in your relationship with CPUT and we honour the dedication, discipline, and resilience that brought you to this moment. While you may be completing your formal studies, you are not leaving the CPUT family. In fact, you are joining a wider, dynamic, and growing community of CPUT alumni who are making an impact across South Africa, the continent, and the world.”
The message continued:
“The university is immensely proud of you, and we welcome you warmly into our alumni fold. CPUT will always be your home.
Your journey of learning does not end here. The world is changing rapidly, and lifelong learning is one of the most powerful tools you can invest in. We encourage you to return to CPUT for postgraduate studies, professional development programmes, and research opportunities. CPUT is committed to growing as a university of technology that produces graduates capable of driving innovation, solving real-world problems, and contributing meaningfully to national development. By continuing your academic journey with us, you deepen your expertise while strengthening the reputation and capacity of the institution that helped shape you.
The Convocation exists to ensure that the voice of alumni remains central to the life of the university. We represent the collective interests, wisdom, and experience of all graduates, and we ensure that alumni perspectives influence CPUT’s direction and governance.
As we welcome you in our alumni fold, we also invite you to support CPUT Convocation through participation in our convocation events, industry partnerships, fundraising efforts, updating details in the alumni database and simply being active CPUT ambassadors wherever you go. Your success reflects our shared success.”
