<p>M S Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce (MSRCASC) recently organised an alumni meet on their campus. The 19th alumni association of the college gathered in the college auditorium in a great celebratory mood. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Old students from up to the 1992 batch made their presence felt as they revisited their college days. There were stage performances by the former and current students and experience-sharing sessions. Apart from making contributions to the institution, they also discussed the proposed agenda for the registration of the alumni association. <br /><br />The atmosphere vibrated with enthusiasm as everyone had come to have a good time at their alma mater. “It has been an honour and a privilege to have studied in this institute. It has prepared me for the future, taught me to nurture values and given me friends for life,” says C T Siddalinga Swamy of PUC Science (1992-1994 batch).<br /><br />They were especially appreciative of the staff who had guided them when they were college students and took this opportunity to express their gratitude towards them.<br /> “It’s a trip down memory lane six years after I left college. However, the teachers remain the same. It was lovely to meet them all,” says Sanjay S, who studied BSc Biotechnology from 2004 to 2007.<br /><br />As many as 350 alumni members showed up, many of whom brought their family to show them their roots. “When I first joined MSRCASC in 1994 for the BBM course, little did I realise that my association with the institution would continue till date. The three years spent here were memorable since there was a unique connection between students, faculty and staff. After my graduation, I enrolled for the MBA programme of MSRIT and today, I work as a faculty for the MBA department at the degree college. As an alumni and faculty of the college, I feel really happy and proud to be a part of this institution,” shares Reena Shyam from batch 1994-1997. <br /><br />Organising an event of this scale is no easy task. Alumni coordinator Ramnarian Ramakrishna of BSc Biotechnology (2006-2009 batch), shares his perspective.<br /><br /> He explains, “The first step was to inform our old students about the meet. I personally called and messaged every old student apart from actively engaging with alumni across India and abroad on Facebook on a daily basis.” <br /><br />“Another major task was to get people in other countries to send in their wishes through video messages and write-ups. This way, I thought we could make their presence felt even if they weren’t physically present. I also had a very enthusiastic set of friends, alumni and current students who put in great effort to organise this,” he adds. <br />It was a beautiful walk down memory lane and an unforgettable one too.<br /><br /></p>
