Benefits of alumni engagement

In today’s global scenario, development and alumni relations activities are a very important part in the life and future of universities. An alumni association draws the strategy to seek, ‘To establish, build and maintain positive relationships between alumni and the university, and within the alumni association, in order to generate good will, develop institute’s repute, and encourage all alumni to give in whatever way they can to reinforce the future well-being of their alma mater. Reinforcing the growth of an active alumni association proves to be mutually-beneficial, both to the University and to alumni.

Alumni have the capacity to:
  • Highlight the strengths of the university and reflect its commitment to excellence in education, research and lifelong learning;
  • Be brand ambassadors, thereby inspiring and counseling others who wish to be a part of the university.
  • Help each other and current students through networking, organizing guest lectures, mentoring and friendship;
  • Assist each other and current students by sharing with them Job Opportunities / Career options.
  • Foster global relationships to help promote networking opportunities.
  • Contribute significant financial support to their alma mater.

 
It is important to understand that a successful alumni engagement strategy depends critically on having a strong body of alumni engaged with and committed to their alma mater.
