The UPOU Alumni Congress carries the theme of the university “Sustainability and Agility of the UPOU Alumni Community amidst Disruptions.”
The event will be held online via Zoom. As UPOU has had students and graduates from more than 70 countries around the world, UPOU looks forward to having participants from across the globe.
