Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Alumni
Greetings from the Department of
Botany/Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology.
We are organizing a national symposium
on the 22nd and the 23rd
of February 2018 to mark the
completion of 80 years of excellent service by the Department.
Discussing this
with some of the former students, it was proposed to organize an alumni
meet on
the 24th of February 2018. The participation of
many of our retired
staff in the symposium would auger well that this special alumni meet
is
conducted in the 80th year of the Department.
A working committee to organize the
Octogintenneal Celebrations Alumni Meet has been formed to usher in the
activities. This is with an understanding that a committee for
organized Alumni
would be formed in due course.
The
committee plan to have the following events on 24th
February 2018.
a) Thanks giving service for
our former Professor Late. Dr. Crispin Devadas.
b)
Felicitate all our retired
staff.
c)
Bring out a souvenir to
mark the Octogintenneal
Celebrations of the Department (Participation
and
contribution from people across the years)
To make the event memorable to all we
have taken efforts to specially invite all the retired staff of our
Department
to be part of the event and have interaction with students of over five
decades. WhatsApp and Telegram groups apart from other social media
connects
are being extensively used to communicate to all the alumni. I hereby
solicit
your kind self also to connect and enable us to converge the alumni
together
despite the short time we have and make this program a cherishable one.
Enrolment
for Octogintenneal Celebration Alumni meet can be made through https://goo.gl/p1juuW.
I am happy to bring to your notice that a few sponsors have come forward to
support the entire expences for lunch and coffee. Your enrolment here would enable organizers to
come up with proper planning - especially food.
A detailed schedule of program would be
provided in this page shortly for your reference.
Feel free to get back to anyone of us, in case
you need clarification
or
would like to give suggestions.
We also request you to enrol yourself
as the Department Alumni via http://mccbotbio.yolasite.com/alumni00.php
Anticipating your participation with
lots of enthusiasm.
Thanks
Yours
sincerely
G.A.I.
