Engaging Our Alumni The alumni are the key stakeholders of the University and strengthening our ties with them are of utmost importance. Through the work of the Alumni Affairs Office the alumni network has been expanding. NTU Alumni Associations in Jakarta, Mumbai and Shanghai were launched in May and June 2007. In conjunction with the China Convocation 2007, an alumni get-together was held in Dalian for 360 China-based alumni, guests and their families. NTU@one-north was officially opened in May this year. Besides housing the Centre for Continuing Education and the Confucius Institute, it is also home to the NTU Alumni Clubhouse. Designed to combine recreational and business facilities under one roof, the clubhouse with its wide range of facilities is an attractive meeting and networking point for all alumni members. With the presence of the Centre for Continuing Education, professors, administrators and fellow alumni will have greater opportunities to keep in touch with one another. Close to 100 international alumni gathered for an afternoon of networking at the second International Alumni Lunch at the Alumni Clubhouse at NTU@one-north this year. Everyone was pleased to be given the chance to meet fellow alumni from various parts of the world and to extend their business contacts.
