The ANC U.S. alumni association formed 3 local chapters representing Northwood University, Missouri State University as well as John F. Kennedy University & Patten University which are U.S. transfer programs.
Dr. Karunanayake highlighting the significance of this alumni to him said, “When ANC was started fourteen years ago, the vision was to make the U.S. education system accessible to Sri Lankans and now we have a network of over 5000 graduates.
By fostering and strengthening our ties with the ANC Alumni not just in Sri Lanka but abroad as well, our present students as well as alumni can reap the benefits of collective knowledge, skills and competencies that exist within the network to advance in their academic as well as professional life.”
Nadeem Rajabdeen who was ANC’s first student is now a director of Cantaloupe & Co. said this about being an ANC alumni, “It not only connects me to my batch mates but to the entire ANC network which has proved really useful to me in my day to day life.
It’s also really nice to have that nostalgic connection to my U.S. college which ANC facilitated by allowing me to get the full ‘college experience’.”
With plans of making ‘U.S. Night’ an annual event , ANC Education appointed Ransirini De Silva, Anaz Ashra, Anagi Gunasekara, Ayantha Phillip Martyl as the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Missouri University of Science and Technology Alumni Association, respectively.
