The Opening Ceremony of the newly renovated post office was held on July 13th, 2023. Distinguished guests, including the Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC), Senior Prof. Sampath Amaratunga, and Acting Vice Chancellor Prof. Upul Subasinghe, graced this momentous occasion. Numerous alumni members, academic staff, and students also gathered to commemorate the event.
The premises was initially declared open as a sub-post office on February 16th, 1968, and the renovation of this facility was a collaborative effort undertaken by the Department of Posts of Sri Lanka and the USJ Alumni Association. The primary objective of this endeavor was to enhance communication efficiency for the student community and the general public. On July 13th, 2023, the premises was officially vested as an upgraded post office, marking a significant milestone in advancing communication services.
This remarkable endeavor stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Alumni Association to their alma mater and their relentless pursuit of enhancing the university’s facilities. The newly renovated post office will now serve as a modern and efficient space for students, staff, and the wider university community, ensuring a seamless experience for all.
