Kelaniya University Alumni Association Australia (KUAA) brings together past students and staff of the University of Kelaniya who are living in Australia. It is a vibrant community dedicated to fostering lifelong friendships, celebrating our shared heritage and culture, supporting one another, and maintaining strong ties with our alma mater.
KUAA proudly welcomes alumni and former staff from the University of Kelaniya, including its predecessor institutions—the University of Sri Lanka, Vidyalankara Campus, Vidyalankara University, and other institutions historically associated with the University.
Incorporated in Australia as a not-for-profit organisation, KUAA is committed to promoting fellowship among its members, preserving the values and traditions of the University, supporting educational, cultural, and charitable initiatives, and strengthening connections between alumni in Australia and the University of Kelaniya.
Everything we do comes back to three simple ideas.
A close-knit community that helps one another and promotes wellbeing, together.
Social and cultural events that bring members and their families together.
Staying connected to Kelaniya University and giving back to our alma mater.
