The alumni association has launched an initiative to establish a modern resource center and a state-of-the-art skills lab to advance learning and competence for the college. With fundraising already underway, this project aims to elevate the learning experience and adequately prepare students. All alumni are encouraged to contribute to this worthy cause.
During open group discussions, strategies were explored to increase attendance at meetings. The Alma Mater concluded that:
- The school maintains records of various groups, each with designated leaders (SRC) who could reach out to members.
- Additional means discussed include contacting nursing directors and the Polyclinics to announce alumni meetings.
- Letter to the DNS was also considered.
Members are urged to mark their calendars for the August 1, 2024 meeting.
