Building a comprehensive alumni network requires strategic planning and management. It can then become one of the most important resources for universities offering some of these exceptional benefits.

• Alumni bring the wealth of knowledge from the world of practice, which can enhance any programme at a university. Their insights can be crucial in developing curriculum that is relevant to current industry trends.
• A university’s alumni pool is its social capital in many ways as they enhance their reputation. When alumni take their rightful place in the industry or become entrepreneurs, they take the institution’s brand far and wide.
• Alumni have been in students’ shoes, often in the recent past, and know their challenges, aspirations well. They can help the current student community at the university through talks, lectures, personal contact and mentorships.
• Alumni also pave the way for current students into organizations for placements. The performance of alumni in their respective organizations is a compelling reason for them to be campus recruiters in the future.
