The M S University has decided to invite employees of those business houses where its alumni are holding high positions to Reunion 2013,the varsity’s first ever alumni meet to be held in January next year,with a view to generate goodwill among industries.
“MSU alumni holding high positions in corporate organisations will be contacted for support for this event. The other employees of their organisations who have not studied at MSU will be registered as “Friends of MSU” and made part of the event meant specially for them on January 4,” an official release of the university said on Sunday.
As a precursor to the Reunion 2013,the university would organise a pre-alumni meet on January 4,followed by the main event on January 5 and 6. The special event for the industries would be a part of this event.
The decision was taken at a meeting of deans of faculties,principals of colleges and heads of various departments of the university and presided over by Vice-Chancellor Prof Yogesh Singh on Saturday.
“The event is aimed at giving industry people an opportunity to be associated with MSU and develop a kind of bond with the university. This is an attempt to generate goodwill between the university and people in various industries,” Amit Dholakia,in-charge registrar and head of Communication Cell of the university,said.
“There are around 1,500 big and small industry houses in and around Vadodara. These firms are our target,” Dholakia,who was present at the meeting,further said.
The move can also prepare ground for better communication and coordination between the industry and the varsity.
As part of the pre-meet event,the V-C would invite former V-Cs and registrars for a gathering at his official residence on January 4. Similarly,deans of faculties would invite former deans and heads of departments would invite their respective predecessors for gatherings. Their messages about faculties,departments or the university would be videographed and uploaded on the university website.
Reunion 2013 would be first ever alumni meet of the university with former students from across the world are expected to participate. MSU authorities say they will make the event a regular biennial affair.
Registration for the January meet is going on at departments,various faculties and online.
