As alma mater who had studied in UPH, they are still a part of UPH family. They are ambassador of UPH in industries they are into. They have to be equipped so that they can improve, just like the tagline of alumni center ?Life for learning?,? he said.
Currently many UPH alumni are entrepreneurs. UPH has Alumni Business Network (ABN) to facilitate their connection so that they can share and broaden the networks. ?A natural enthusiasm is always good, especially in UPH Festival the can meet more alumni. Last year there were 500 alumni visiting. This year we invite alumni on August 22, 2015 not only for talk show but also to join with founders and students in 5K Run, and public lectures by Mr. Ahok. On that day we will invite the alumni to the closing ceremony. This time we will present the performance of human configuration,? Ms. Nursari shared.

First ABN theme was ?People and Product? and the third theme will be about ?Organization and Operation? and the fourth theme will be ?Finance and Funding?. So all the topics are interrelated,? Mr. Budi shared.
Alumni event is a part of Link and Match program by UPH. In this event students can listen to the sharing and updates about real life in industry. The most important thing is the network between alumni, students, and UPH, which is facilitated under alumni center department.
