BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION :
The SSN Alumni Association has been in existence since 2003 in a
rather informal way. The institution has held Annual Alumni
meetings on the 15th of August every year. These meetings have
always been attended by a core group of Alumni members. The
emphasis was more on providing an opportunity for the Alumni to
connect with the campus and faculty and be abreast of
developments in the Institution. There were some activities by
the Alumni in terms of organizing guest lectures, conducting
training programs for students in soft skills and facing
interviews and providing inputs for projects. That their hearts
were in the right place was demonstrated through their
contributions towards scholarships and financial support to
students. Office bearers were elected every year and they
carried the baton till the next year.
AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE:
The relationship between an educational institution and its
Alumni Association is symbiotic. A person’s Alma Mater plays a
significant role in shaping a person’s knowledge, skills and
attitude. It provides a launching pad for a person stepping into
adulthood. SSN has played this role significantly in the lives
of thousands of students and will continue to do so for years to
come. And, when the students do step into the world, they become
brand ambassadors for the institution.
The Alumni Association is, in a way, the umbilical chord between
the alumni and the institution and fosters the relationship
between the former students and their Alma Mater. It provides a
forum for their contribution to the institution in a multitude
of ways and help further build the reputation of the
institution. The Association also offers an opportunity for the
institution and its students to continuously stay in touch with
its brand ambassadors and help each other in fostering the
growth of the institution.
And last, but not the least, the Association provides a “meeting
place” for former students whose lives take different paths in
different countries. In a way, the association becomes a home
where the students can connect with another throughout their
lives. We hope this website will facilitate and strengthen this
connect between students who have passed through the corridors
of this institution and will do so in the years to come.
The purpose of the Alumni Association can therefore be
enunciated as follows :
- Between the Alumni themselves: A meeting point to share
knowledge, experiences, views and opportunities.
- Between Alumni and Faculty: Provide faculty members with
one of the many windows to the outside world, help network
with industry, supplement their teaching resources with
guest lectures, seminars and the like and ultimately, help
in collaborative research efforts between industry and
faculty.
- Between Alumni and Students: Provide leadership as
mentors & role-models, promote project & placement
opportunities and encourage excellence through sponsorship
of prizes and awards.
- Between Alumni and Institution: Contribute to
Institution’s efforts towards social causes and building
infrastructure. And in turn benefit from the Institution’s
reputation as one of the country’s leading places for
learning.
