The Engineering Department of Ibri College of Technology held its very first Alumni Gathering on Thursday, 5 April 2018 from 10:30am to 2:30pm, in the Multi-Purpose Hall.
To ensure the attendance of alumni, a number of staff members were tasked to call and contact them personally. Also, the alumni contacted were encouraged to communicate with their friends and classmates to spread the invitation, in addition to the posted announcements and invitations sent via WhatsApp, published in the College website, as well as Facebook posts. These efforts reaped a good turn up of at least 33 alumni present, and some of them even applied for leave from their work to be here.
