S. Okogbule to foster a lifelong relationship between graduates and their beloved alma mater, the Rivers State University Alumni Relations Directorate (RSU-DAR) stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of academic excellence and community engagement. At its core, RSU-DAR is a structure that\u202fliaises with individuals who attended the Rivers State University and were found worthy in character and learning and who received certificates of graduation from the University, or the collectivity of such individuals (Alumni Association). It is a creation of the University to engage the alumni association in ensuring that graduates of the University are given a befitting\u202flinkage with the University. RSU-DAR is aimed at providing all those who once called the institution \u201cHome\u201d and have successfully completed their programme the continued warmth that demonstrates that the University still cares about their well-being and success in life.<\/p>\r\n            <!-- <div class=\"callout\">\r\n               <h3>Open to partners<\/h3>\r\n               <p>RSU-DAR is an open system.

With a rich history dating back to the inception of the institution in 1972 (as CST) and transition to the premier University of Science and Technology in 1980 (as RSUST), RSU-DAR\u202fserves as a platform for networking, mentorship, and advocacy, reflecting the values instilled by the University. The Rivers State University\u202fAlumni Relations Directorate (RSU-DAR) is a community united by a shared commitment to excellence, service, and the enduring legacy of Rivers State University. Founded on the principles of camaraderie and advancement, RSU-DAR serves as the official link between the vast Alumni Community, the University, and the Society at large. Many notable individuals have gone through the University and are impacting the State, the Nation and the International Community at large in different capacities, thus exemplifying the values of the institution. The Rivers State University Alumni Relations Directorate (RSU-DAR) is committed to preserving this connection and harnessing the collective power of our Alumni community to effect positive changes in the world, starting in the University and its immediate environs. Through our programs, initiatives, and partnerships, we strive to empower alumni to lead lives of purpose and impact, leaving a legacy that honors the proud tradition of Rivers State University and inspires future generations to do even more. The Directorate stands to galvanize all alumni, both those who have already joined the Alumni Association and those who are yet to do so. These people have left the University, but the University continues to cherish them and continues to seek ways to impact their lives, while celebrating their achievements and supporting them through their challenges. RSU-DAR do not only offers its facilities as a first point of call to every alumni who enters the University for any reasons, but provides support to such alumni in dealing with whatever their mission may be at that time. In essence, this Directorate is a testament to the unending relationship between comrades who shared the experience of the institution, starting with being selected among many candidates who applied to study\u202fin the institution and continuing for a lifetime.\u202f However, as an open system, we also welcome other well-meaning individuals in the society who are non-alumni of the university, but who wish to partner with us in any way to\u202fextend the frontiers of RSU-DAR.<\/p>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/section>\r\n\r\n   <section class=\"sec alt\" id=\"mission\">\r\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\r\n         <div class=\"mv\">\r\n            <div class=\"mv-c mv-m\">\r\n               <h3>Our mission<\/h3>\r\n               <p>Centre of Excellence for building mutually beneficial University-Alumni Community Relationship, empowering and uniting alumni in service to their beloved Rivers State University and the society at large, through a culture of excellence, leadership, and community engagement.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"mv-c mv-v\">\r\n               <h3>Our vision<\/h3>\r\n               <p>Raising the Alumni Community to a consciousness that inspires and stimulates the willingness to invest towards the overall development of the University, thus ensuring the advancement of education, professional development, and social progress within the Rivers State University and beyond.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/section>\r\n\r\n   <section class=\"sec\" id=\"values\">\r\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\r\n         <div class=\"sec-head\">\r\n            <h2>Our core values<\/h2>\r\n            <p>Four pillars guide our dealings and remind us of our primary commitment.<\/p>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n         <div class=\"vgrid\">\r\n            <article class=\"vcard\">\r\n               <div class=\"ico\">\r\n                  <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\r\n                     <path d=\"M12 3l8 3v6c0 4.5-3.2 7.8-8 9-4.8-1.2-8-4.5-8-9V6l8-3z\" \/>\r\n                     <path d=\"M9 12l2 2 4-4\" \/>\r\n                  <\/svg>\r\n               <\/div>\r\n               <div>\r\n                  <h3>Integrity<\/h3>\r\n                  <p>At RSU-DAR, integrity is the cornerstone of everything we do.
