ALUMNI MEET IN MUMBAI

The evening of October 6, 2007 saw a gathering of over a hundred MICA alumni at Hotel Lotus Suites, Mumbai. This was the first alumni chapter meet for the academic year 2006-07 and the theme was ‘footprints’. A superb presentation ushered in the rest of the evening.

MICA maintains a database of its alumni, keeping a track of where its protégés are now located around the world. The MICA philosophy is that the alumni are not just ex-students but an extended family and an important resource base to take the alma mater from strength to strength.

Professor Atul Tandan, Director, MICA, addressed the gathering and appraised the alumni about the developments taking place at the institute in the past year. He also spoke about the future plans and sought the active involvement of the alumni towards them. He said it was heartening that all of the alumni had worked hard and carved a special space for themselves in the industries that they had gone into.

MICULT, an in house magazine designed specially for MICA alumni, was released on the occassion. Each of the alumnus present was also presented a specially designed phone book, embossed with the MICA logo and a CD of the presentation ‘Footprints.’ The presentation had chronicled the evolution of MICA from an infant institute focussing on advertising to an adolescent exploring the whole Communications management discipline.

The meet was sponsored by Bacardi, who ensured an unending supply of food and beverages. The DJ took over at 10.00 pm, whereafter it was a night long party of music and nostalgia.

It is planned that the next alumni meet will be held in Delhi.

Alumni chapters in other cities in India and overseas are in the offing and will depend on the number of participants there. To participate in the Alumni Chapter Meets please contact:
