The Department of Mass Communication and journalism of Mangalore University is celebrating its silver jubilee this academic year. It is a matter of great pride to all the alumni and therefore a few students took the initiative to have a get together of the alumni and celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner. Though many of us have gone through a bitter experience in the two years we spent in this department, it cannot be denied that the degree has helped us to have a professional career.
The initiative resulted in a few students (5) holding its first meeting on 8th of November. The first decision taken at the meeting was to fix the date for the get-together on December 20, 2014. The date was chosen taken into consideration such as avoiding first Saturday of New Year and second Saturday which is also a holiday and also the date nearer to the two day seminar organised by the MCJ department which comes in the last week of January.
It was also decided that the venue of the get together should be in the campus and Vice Chancellor of the University should be invited to preside over the function. We also fixed the next meeting date as November 12, where it was decided to elect working committee members of the alumni association formed for the purpose of this celebration.
In the meeting held today eight members were present. Surendra Shetty was elected as president and Florine Roche as Secretary of the working committee. Krishna Kishore Joint Secretary, Smith Shenoy as Treasurer. Ronald Anil Fernandes, Krishnamohan Talengala and Sharath Hegde as PRO’s of the Alumni Association.
We need financial support to conduct the event. It has been decided to open a bank account in the name of an individual (Treasurer Smitha Shenoy) so that members can send their contributions (amount not fixed yet) directly to the bank account the details of which will be communicated subsequently to the members.
Krishnamohan Talengala will open an exclusive group of MCJ alumni in Whatsapp to help members keep in touch and communicate the developments in this regard.
The meeting also decided that a few members should meet Chairman of the Depart. G P Shivaram to request for the venue. The meeting will be either on 18th or 19th and a few members will fix an appt with him and also with the VC on the same day.
It was decided that the programme will start in the morning at 10 am (9.30 registration and tea) and end with lunch.
The programme will have VC to preside over. Decided to call all the lecturers who have rendered service in the dept. They include G P Shivaram, Dr Nagaraj, Dr Poornananda, Maheshchandra Guru, Waheeda Sultana and umeshchandra.
V C will preside over the function.
Instead of allowing members to convey their views and feelings it was decided that a male and female alumni will read the views of the members (they have to give in writing) so that the message we need to convey to the department is given in a subtle manner.
Further details will be decided in the next meeting which will be decided after meeting Shivaram and VC.
