We live in a world that lacks personal connection but is digitally very well connected. In the post-Covid world being hooked to gadgets (either laptop or smartphone) has become the new normal. While earlier the IT folks dominated the digital space Covid has made others take the plunge.
In this ecosystem, it is imperative to think about the Institutions where we took the baby steps towards the professional world and in whose lap we learned and sharpened our skills. It is difficult to imagine where we would have been but for these institutions. While it is a herculean task to return the favors showered on us by our institution an effort should be made to give back to our Alma Mater in any shape or form.
We should ponder if we can spare some of the time that we spend wandering in the digital world on thinking about doing something constructive for the well-being of our institution and its pupil.
The alumni portal helps alumni to give back to the institution following the Learn, Earn and Return theory.
An engaged and supportive alumni network is a vital link between the alumni and the institution and leads to a constant flow of ideas that are mutually beneficial. It serves as an important communication channel that keeps the alumni abreast of the latest happenings at the institution and allows them to pass the details that would be useful for the students.
Alumni have a wealth of experience and skills to share with current students via talks, online sessions, and newsletters. In certain cases, this could go even further with alumni offering to practically support students in work placements and help them launch their careers.
International Alumni (former students living abroad) can be a point of contact for that city /country in their home country and can support recruitment activity. They can be invaluable in providing prospective students with real insight into the living, culture and, hopefully, help them confirm their decision with expert guidance.
In a nutshell:
Alumni Portal unleashes the power of alumni network and provides a platform to connect, communicate, collaborate and share your views. The value it creates is immense and helps in personal as well as professional growth. Whatever may be the need (academic, relocation, career, projects, mentorship, etc.) you can ask the community and get expert advice and responses.
So become an active participant of the TAAJH Alumni portal, stay connected, and let’s collaborate. Our one small piece of advice or help or mentoring can be a life-changing moment for someone.
