The Tri-state chapter alumni meet was held on Saturday evening on April 25 at Urban Spice Restaurant in Oak Tree Road, Edison, New Jersey. Total 13 alumni attended the meet. It included Dr. Krishna Kumar (Pharma 1972) and few other senior alumni (Chandrakant Trivedi, Dushyant Desai and Vinod Shah) from Pharma batches of 1970’s. Dr. Krishna Kumar is Professor at Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Howard University, Washington, DC.
There were also few alumni (Nikhil Miraj, Mahesh Mohanty, Akshay Jain and Sandeep Mehta) from the batches of 1990’s and 2000’s who attended the meeting for the first time. A few came from Connecticut. Among the regular members were: Yogesh Upadhyaya, Manu Goyal, Anil Singh, Ravi Gupta and Anand Maharana. Prof. Devesh Kapur (Chemical 1983) and Professor at U Penn, Philadelphia planned to attend meeting but could not attend due to personal reasons.
The meeting went very well and it was a great time for professional networking even within the small group. The issue about IIT conversion, launching of alumni funded projects in near future and strengthening of association was also discussed.
It was planned to have next meeting fully family oriented, by providing some fun and activities for spouses and children. The next meeting is planned around next October and efforts will be made to have more alumni (about 40-50) to attend the meet.
