View(s):LOLC Group recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Colombo (UoC) Alumni Association, extending its engagement with the UoC Partnership Programme for another year, up to October 2021. LOLC has been an alumni partner of the Alumni Association since 2017.
The UoC Partnership Programme is an initiative of the University of Colombo Alumni Association, which represents the entire alumni population of the University of Colombo, allows the members to work closely with leading private and public sector organisations to provide opportunities for enhanced corporate sector involvement and support in the UoC’s activities.
LOLC Group Chief Human Resource Officer Pradeep Uluwaduge confirming the Partnership with Alumni President Rajeev Amarasuriya in the presence of Janek Jayasekera (Treasurer), J.M.S. Bandara (Senior Executive Committee member), Ruwandhi Thanthrige (Secretary) and Sunethra Peiris (Alumni Head of Administration).
As in the previous year, this partnership programme will provide support to the several student development and welfare activities including mentoring, communication, soft skills and leadership programmes, career guidance, inspirational talks, health programmes, member engagement and social activities carried out by the Alumni.
UoC Alumni President Rajeev Amarasuriya said he greatly appreciated LOLC, a leading and diversified conglomerate, for being an alumni partner for the fourth year running. He said the last two years have been difficult for everyone and he appreciated the continuous support and engagement by LOLC.
He said it was because of alumni partners such as LOLC that the Alumni Association was able to conduct its student welfare activities. He also said many new activities were lined up for the coming year, with the main goal being the construction of an international standard swimming pool complex for the University of Colombo, and he was hopeful the project would become a reality before long.
“It is indeed a pleasure to be partnered with Sri Lanka’s premier university for the fifth consecutive year as one of the Corporate partners. As a responsible Corporate citizen, LOLC Group is always keen to seize opportunities where a significant social value creation can be done. Corporate partnership with the alumni of the University of Colombo creates a platform where we can join hands with them in multiple projects aimed at student welfare and development,” LOLC Chief Human Resources Officer Pradeep Uluwaduge said.
