Alumni and it's function

In my previous blogs I already discussed about the alumni and their functions for their alma mater. But how to create the culture of alumni and alma meter in Malaysia significantly? May be we need to look at the function of Alumni Centre, it's leadership, staff, their mission and vision, and what are their daily activities, communication and actions. At the department and faculty levels too must have a strategies and actions for establishing a good alumni. This must start from existing students. They must have relevant activities. In any culture, we must start with leader, trust and money. Then we can proceed after all are convinced. Not an easy task to convince people. Especially regarding getting people together such as alumni. Many will ask what benefit they can get. They are busy with their commitment and daily life activities. Since merdeka time we like to ask, receive and take rather than giving and develop. This kind of culture need to be changed if we are preparing for Malaysian develop country beyond 2020. We need more volunteers and some one willing to organise the meeting or action.
