Class Gift: Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future
For many of us, IIT Madras is more than just an alma mater, it’s the foundation of countless memories and milestones. It’s where we found inspiration, formed lasting bonds, and shaped the dreams that guide us today. Every lecture, late-night conversation, and shared success has left an indelible mark on who we’ve become.
Reunions are not just about reconnecting with old friends or reminiscing about the good old days; they are milestones that celebrate our shared history and our collective achievements. And this year, as we gear up for Reunion 2024, there’s an opportunity to do something truly impactful, a chance to give back through a Class Gift.
Why a Class Gift Matters
A Class Gift is more than just a gesture of gratitude. It’s a way for alumni to come together as a cohort and contribute meaningfully to the growth of IIT Madras. Over the years, alumni have united to support initiatives that leave a lasting legacy, both on campus and beyond.
Take the Center for Innovation (CFI), for example. This pioneering space was born from the generosity of 1981 Batch - Class Gift. What began as a dream has become the springboard for innovation and entrepreneurship at IIT Madras, inspiring countless students and projects.
The Impact of a Collective Gift
As alumni, we have the unique privilege of giving back as a cohort. There’s something deeply satisfying about coming together as a class to leave a lasting mark on the institute that shaped us. It’s not just about the funds, it’s about the shared journey, the sense of community, and the joy of contributing together.
So this year, as you reconnect with friends and relive cherished memories, think about the legacy you’d like to leave behind. Because reunions aren’t just about looking back, they’re about creating a brighter future for the generations to come.
Let’s make this reunion one to remember not just for us, but for the institute we all love.
