The Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM-USL), the leading university in Sierra Leone, is gearing up for a groundbreaking reunion and networking night on November 24, 2023. This event, which is expected to draw a vast alumni representation, will not only serve as a platform for reconnection but also mark the unveiling of a new logo and the naming of a state-of-the-art building that was constructed for lectures and other purposes.
In an exclusive interview with the event coordinator, Mrs. Branda Peacock-Sawyerr , she highlighted the inspiration behind organising such a grand event. “The decision to organise this reunion was inspired by our institution’s outstanding recognition, and we want to attribute this achievement to our resourceful personnel,” said Madam Peacock-Sawyerr.
Some of the key objectives of the event will be: Knowledge Exchange: Fostering a strong Alumni Network by creating a knowledge-sharing platform with experienced experts.
Collaboration: Enhancing collaborative opportunities and strengthening the bond among IPAM alumni. Reconnection: Providing a platform for alumni to reconnect with each other and their alma mater.
Rebranding: Reinforcing and rebranding the IPAM spirit through the unveiling of a new IPAM Logo and the name of the state-of-the-art building that was constructed with standard lecture rooms and spaces for other purposes.
Elaborating on the significance of reunions, Mrs. Peacock-Sawyerr emphasised that they play a crucial role in strengthening the bond among alumni, fostering a sense of belonging, and creating opportunities for mentorship and guidance. “Reunions build a strong reputation and positively influence the network for the institution as a whole,” she added.
