Someone asked me, “Why should former students of Dority reunite after being apart for so long?”.
People react differently to alumni associations. Some are very enthusiastic and eager to be a part of it, while others are indifferent and don’t see the need to reunite with former classmates and schoolmates.
A lot of people avoid alumni associations because they feel they have not achieved a lot in life and their more successful peers could ridicule them.
Some people also believe that alumni associations are all about money and they don’t want to make financial commitments.
But alumni associations are not about money and success.
They are about passionate people who share a common bond and pride in their alma mater and are committed to their alma mater’s progress.
Dority International Alumni Association is an exemplary alumni association, where members are passionate about Dority and each member is treated equally irrespective of year of graduation, financial capability, academic qualification, location, political affiliation or life achievements.
