Alumni Association

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION?
The following questions are pertinent to mark the importance of a registered Alumni Association:

• Where should I study?
• Which institution is going to secure a good quality education and successful career?
• Who are the successful Alumni of the institution?
• Which institute work for every section of society irrespective of caste, creed, religion and gender?
• Which institute is offering equal opportunities to all the students?
• Which institute has zero tolerance for gender bias, caste bias, religion bias and Ragging?

These are some of the questions which confound a student as well the parents when they decides the perfect Institute to suit their needs. Universities, Colleges and Schools have just swarmed up massively worldwide within the span of two decades. Students have plenty of choices when choosing the best and most promising institute guarantee everyone with offering the best of syllabus, faculty and infrastructure. Alumni relations have become a strategic asset for a higher education institution willing to stand out from the domestic and international competition.
This means that -
An organization's alumni are the reflection of its past, representation of its present and a link to its future.
Educational institutions are changing the way they see and interact with their alumni community. Earlier, alumni and their alma-mater were treated as separate entities wherein one's existence was independent of the other. Local alumni chapters were formed as a means to interact with other fellow alumni. However, these associations seldom had any interaction with the institution they graduated from.
With the advent of Social Media, alumni relationship has taken a different flavour through various networking platforms like Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter etc. by creating their alumni groups and profiles on them.
Here are 4 ways in which alumni association are creating a powerful positive impact:
1. Support System
An engaged alumni network allows the University to benefit from the skills and experience of our graduates, by offering their support to our students, to the institution and to each other. If we keep them well informed and engaged, alumni are our most loyal supporters and our best ambassadors, offering invaluable marketing and promotion across their personal and professional networks.
2. Offering Expertise
Talented alumni will likely have a wealth of experience and skills to share with current students via talks and meets. In certain cases, this could go even further with alumni offering to practically support students in work placements and help them launch their careers. CRA College Alumni Association creates an engaged alumni network which is beneficial because engaged graduates are much more likely to want to "give back" to the institute.
3. Assistance in Employability
Alumni network has a real life benefit for current students. Alumni also donate their valuable time to offer career support to current students. This enhances the students' experience and give them that competitive edge in today's tough job market. The alumni network of a college is one of the biggest sources of placement opportunities to the students. Alumni can help students get placed at their respective organizations.
4. Mentorship and Scholarships
Alumni can play an active role in voluntary programs like mentoring students in their areas of expertise. They also play a significant role in contributing scholarships to deserving students. Alumni get in touch with students and share their expertise and best practices in a given field.
Leveraging the alumni community can be a win-win for both the institution and the alumni. Many of them are willing to 'Give-Back' to their alma-mater as a sign of their gratitude and affinity towards the institution.
