ALUMNI AMBASSADORS

KIMEP launched the ‘Alumni Ambassadors’ program in February of 2011. Outstanding alumni volunteers from each graduating class between 1994 and 2010 were nominated for the Ambassador role.

Alumni Ambassadors are an important means of communication between KIMEP and its graduates. They raise awareness about major KIMEP events and encourage fellow alumni to participate actively in university life. Ambassadors serve on KIMEP’s advisory board, participate in university graduation, and contribute to the overall development of the University.

The contact information of all Ambassadors is available upon request.

KIMEP Alumni Endowment Fund

The KIMEP Alumni Endowment Fund was established in 2022 by a group of KIMEP alumni.

The fund was created with the goal of giving back to KIMEP and supporting future generations of leaders by providing them with life-changing educational opportunities. Similar funds at prestigious Western universities have proven to be highly effective, and we hope to bring this successful model to Kazakhstan.

The fund has three main objectives:

1. Support promising students from lower-income families by providing tuition sponsorships and monthly scholarships, helping make quality education accessible to students from smaller cities and rural areas.
2. Help KIMEP become a leading global institution, aiming to be ranked among the top 50 universities by 2030.
3. Promote a culture of endowment funds in Kazakhstan, encouraging other alumni groups to get involved and supporting the development of the local capital market.

The endowment works by accepting donations from graduates and other sponsors. The fund then invests this capital to grow its financial capacity. As a non-profit organization, the endowment operates with the goal of benefiting students and KIMEP, with no financial gain for its founders. Each year, it reports on its activities and the progress made toward achieving its goals.

How to be become an Alumni Ambassador

You can have the best alumni database in the world, the strongest brand, and professional and capable alumni relations staff, but without the ‘playmaker’ ingredient, your alumni network will not succeed. The most critical ingredient to the success of the alumni association is the presence of ‘playmakers’ – or as we call them, ‘alumni network ambassadors’.

These are the alumni who initiate discussions, who organize local events, who bridge their Class with Alma Mater, post jobs and are most willing to mentor others. Without these alumni ambassadors, alumni association will ultimately die.  With them, it can thrive.

• You are enthusiastic and have great social skills.

• You enjoy talking to people and love the opportunity to share your experience.
• You are willing to carry out some tasks for the KIMEP University on a voluntary basis.

• You are representing a Class (1994, 1995, etc), city (Almaty, Nur-Sultan, Atyrau etc) or Program (BSC, MBA, MPA, etc)

Mentorship

The KIMEP Alumni Mentorship Program was established on April 1, 2019, with the support of three alumni volunteers who mentored six BCB students in the program’s inaugural year.

Over the past five years, the program has grown significantly, with over 60 mentors and 200 mentees participating.

In 2024 the program has gone digital, expanding its reach and accessibility.

If you’re interested in becoming a mentor and sharing your knowledge and experience, please contact Alumni manager by email: cdd@kimep.kz.

The program’s goal is to strengthen the connection between alumni and students, assist senior students in choosing their career paths, and build a supportive community of mentors at KIMEP University.
