The Alumni Association of North South University
Founded in 2004 by graduates of Bangladesh's first private university, AANSU has grown from a single association in Dhaka into a global family of chapters, school organisations and regional networks.
Lifelong connection to NSU and to each other
AANSU brings together everyone who has graduated from North South University: bankers in Dubai, engineers in Toronto, pharmacists in Melbourne, founders in Dhaka and researchers in Tokyo. We keep that community connected to one another and to the university that started it all.
The association is run by volunteers. AANSU Bangladesh, the founding central committee, works with the university and its Office of External Affairs. Country chapters serve alumni abroad. The Global Advisory Board and the Global Chapters & Country Coordination team make sure everyone works as one.
Mission and vision
Connect, support and give back
To connect NSU alumni wherever they live, support each other's careers and wellbeing, and give back to North South University, its students and the communities we come from.
One global NSU family
A trusted worldwide network in which every NSU graduate, whether in Dhaka or in a city with only a handful of alumni, has a chapter to belong to and a community to lean on.
Connection
Reunions, city circles and a directory that makes it easy to find each other.
Excellence
Celebrating alumni achievement and helping the next generation follow.
Service
Scholarships, relief drives and mentoring led by volunteers.
Trust
Verified members, consent-based profiles and transparent governance.
