PREAMBLE

Anna University has a proud distinction of generating year after year a large number of quality human resources in almost all areas of engineering, technology and management. As a result, there is no known place on the global map where there is no alumnus of this University found working, Although there are few alumni interactions happening at regular intervals, there is no professionally managed centre to facilitate alumnus to continuously and meaningfully interact with their parent institutions. Time and again, alumnus from all parts of the world have requested the Vice-Chancellor to establish a dedicated facility not only to offer their services to the university but also to keep them update in their career through various professional development avenues. With this background, a dedicated centre for alumni affairs has been established.
