Tishk International University has always prided itself not just on the quality of education it provides but also on the enduring relationships it maintains with its graduates. With a vibrant community of over 5,000 alumni and approximately 1,000 new graduates joining this illustrious group each year, the bond between the university and its alumni is more than just a testament to academic achievement—it’s a lifelong connection that we continuously strive to strengthen and celebrate.
Understanding the importance of these connections, our University’s Alumni Center is dedicated to keeping our esteemed alumni engaged and integrated within the university community. Our efforts are manifold, ranging from Alumni Reunions to unique visits and even cultural gatherings such as Ramadan Iftars. These events serve not just as reunions but as opportunities for our graduates to network, share their experiences, and rekindle their university memories.
However, our commitment to our alumni community goes beyond mere gatherings. Recognizing the challenges faced by graduates in navigating the professional world, the Alumni Center has taken a proactive approach. We actively collect and update data on our graduates from all departments, focusing on their current employment status and how the university can assist them in their job search and professional development. This initiative underscores our dedication not only to our alumni’s academic growth but also to their career success.
In an effort to enhance this support system and make it more accessible, we are excited to announce the development of a mobile application tailored specifically for our alumni. This application, available for both Android and iOS systems, represents a significant leap forward in how we connect with our graduates. It will serve as a dynamic platform where alumni can stay informed about university projects, activities, and opportunities to engage with the university community. Whether it’s participating in upcoming events, contributing to university projects, or simply staying updated on university news, this app will ensure that our alumni remain an active and integral part of the Tishk International University family.
The launch of this mobile application is not just about embracing technological advancements; it’s a reflection of our commitment to fostering a connected, supportive, and thriving alumni network. It’s about creating a space where our graduates can continue to grow, contribute, and make a difference—not just in their own lives but in the lives of future generations of Tishk International University students.
In addition, the Alumni Discount Card Membership opens up a world of exclusive discounts and special offers from a wide range of companies and services. Understanding the diverse needs and interests of our alumni, we have partnered with businesses across various sectors, including retail, dining, entertainment, health and wellness, and professional services, among others. These partnerships are carefully curated to ensure that the benefits are not only varied but also meaningful and relevant to our alumni’s lifestyles.
As we move forward, we look to our alumni with pride and anticipation, eager to see how these strengthened connections will shape the future of our university community. Stay tuned for the launch of the mobile application and get ready to engage with Tishk International University like never before.
