WHY AURO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION?
Alumni associations have been a part of educational institutions for as long as we can remember. It is the bonds that we make. The feelings we attach with each other and with the places we live in or frequently visit. The ability to associate with someone or something is a huge part of a human being’s life, and it is important for the healthy functioning of our society. Our Mission is to promote a goodwill and sense of pride to both alumni and students. To help and support alumnus develop and spread a philanthropic and entrepreneurial mindset among students. To advice and conduct activities that shall motivate and upgrade student skill sets & to build a network & community for personal and professional growth amongst alumnus of the university.
The association will be focusing on the following key aspects:-
Wider Professional Network and Connects:
Alumni association main objective is to help former students find job opportunities and improve their chances of landing a job offer with opportunities for expanding a graduate’s professional network. Career fairs, for example, bring together employers from around the area, and sometimes further, so that graduates can meet company representatives face-to-face. Career counseling, seminars, webinars, and networking events may provide helpful information about the job market.
Belonging to the association:
Being able to connect with former classmates can be another benefit to belonging to an alumni association. Whether this leads to a career opportunity or is simply a chance to catch up with old friends and acquaintances, graduates will benefit from alumni directories and online social media groups that keep the lines of communication open well after the caps and gowns have been removed.
Socializing:
Alumni associations aren’t always all business. They offer several chances to partake in social events, such as mixers, happy hours, and galas as well as homecoming events, alumni award ceremonies, and class reunions. Graduates can take a break from work and post-college life and reconnect with former classmates as well as other alumni, while making social connections that could lead to lasting friendships.
Giving Back:
Alumni associations offer a number of ways to give back, including gifts, endowments, membership fees, and volunteer opportunities. Giving back to an alumni association is a great way to keep the legacy going and ensure that future generations of students have the opportunity to pursue quality higher education.
