Alumni Cell

Yearbook Report 2008-2009

    The Alumni Cell, after a prolonged hiatus, finally woke up from its slumber. The year brought an element of diversification as the cell dared to tread some unfamiliar waters, the first of which was the V.C Memorial Debate in November, organized in collaboration with the Economics society. The intercollegiate event was much appreciated by guests and participants alike and most of all it was a fitting homage to Professor Vinod Chowdhury.
 

    In order to strengthen the bond and further our relation with the alumni of college, we decided to introduce the concept of talks and discussions by the alumni to share their opinions and views on life in college then and now. To give light to this initiative, the Alumni Cell conducted a talk in February, by Mr. Anup Kutty, Stephanian and chief – editor of Maxim India, who had an informal discussion on – “The 3 M’s of his life: Music, Maxim and Mince”. Needless to say, with Mr. Kutty ‘in the house’ it turned out to be an extremely entertaining as well as enlightening session!

    An event that we were extremely proud to organize was a Prayer service for Dr. Wilson’s recovery and good health. It was indeed a touching moment to see a large number of alumni gather to lend their wishes for his recovery.

    We also furthered our efforts of updating the alumni database with fresh contacts on a regular basis throughout the year and are inching towards our goal of the establishment of an online network so elaborate that it could become a nerve centre for Stephanians in the future.

    Another aspect to look forward to is the revival of our annual journal, ‘The Mince’ which would provide a platform for Stephanians from all spheres of life to share with us their experiences, emotions and the most endearing moments that encompassed their lives as members of this institution.

    However, sadly for Romit, the one task that we couldn’t tick off our agenda was a meeting with full attendance….but as they say, hope shall prevail….
