Alumni

We have initiated the process of forming an Alumni Association of the Department with Dr J H Khan (Convenor), Mr P J Dave (Assistant Convenor), and Mr Manish Solanki (Assistant Convenor), three of our alumni on the faculty of the Department, being given the responsibility of coordinating the activities.

Called the Alumni Association of the Department of English, Sardar Patel University (AADESPU), its aims at fostering friendly ties with its alumni spread across the State of Gujarat, other States of India, and in countries abroad. It will endeavour to fulfil the following objectives: (a) It will organise reunions of the alumni of the Department of English at least once a year, (b) It will host academic meets like seminars, symposia, workshops, conferences etc to update members of the association with newer trends in English studies, (c) It will organise cultural events, as a part of the reunions every year, so as to instil a sense of belonging among the alumni, (d) It will create an atmosphere of participation and meaningful exchange of ideas and provide a platform to the alumni to contribute to and in return benefit from the academic resources available in the Department, (e) It will organise special events and raise funds for use in the development of the Department, and (f) It will bring out a regular annual newsletter about the events organised by the Association and to disseminate information like change of address, promotions, achievements etc. For details, please contact the Convenor on jhkspu@rediffmail.com or the Department on departmentofenglish@yahoo.com.
