Wellness Starts Here

In partnership with Reality Wellness, the Alumni Engagement team is excited to host a series of online wellness talks designed to support your personal and professional well-being. Join us as we explore important topics that impact our everyday lives and equip you with practical tools to thrive.

Your Money Matters
20 August 2026 | 5:30 PM SAST

Our relationship with money is often shaped by the experiences we’ve had throughout our lives. In this session, we’ll delve into our money memories to better understand the conscious and subconscious influences behind how we think about money and manage our finances. To move forward with greater financial confidence as adults, we must first look back.

Burnout Talk
17 September 2026 | 5:30 PM SAST

Burnout can leave people feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and powerless. When the demands of life become too much, it can be difficult to meet both external expectations and our own. Join us for this session as we unpack the signs of burnout, explore its impact, and discuss practical ways to restore balance and protect your well-being.
We hope you’ll join us for these insightful conversations as we continue supporting the holistic well-being of our alumni community.

ALA Alumni Leadership Forum

7 August 2026 | 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM

You’re formally invited to join us for this year’s ALA Alumni Leadership Forum! Inspired by the African tradition of the kgotla—where communities gather to listen, reflect, and shape the future through collective wisdom—this forum is a meeting of the minds that goes beyond networking.

Reconnect with fellow alumni, strengthen relationships across generations and borders, and help co-create the future of the ALA alumni community. Together, we’ll move from connection to community, transforming our shared history into collective action. Your experiences, ideas, and leadership are essential as we build the next chapter of the ALA community together.
