Annual Alumni Meet for the batch of 2012-13

Pillai-ites have a long association with their college and it is rightly said ‘Once a Pillai-ite, always a Pillai-ite.’ This year, on the last working day before the college closes for the Diwali vacations, PCER-Chembur invited its last year’s students for its annual alumni meet. On Wednesday, the 30th October, 2013, last year’s students came back to their alma mater to celebrate their memories and to share their experiences. This is the day when the achievers are felicitated and they interact with the current batch and encourage them with what to expect in the year ahead.

The Annual Alumni Meet 2011 was held on Saturday, the 22nd October, 2011. There is no doubt that the students of PCER are the strength on which the institute is built. On leaving the portals of PCER, they test their teaching skills in the real world. The annual Alumni Meet provides a platform for the alumni to come back to their alma mater and share their experiences with the current batch of students.

On this occasion, the achievers of the previous academic year were felicitated. This year too, Ms. Gyana Jenisha Nadar, Ms. Arpita Bhide and Ms. Pooja Sharma, who had all scored distinction marks and stood first, second and third in the college respectively, were felicitated for their performance. Congratulations to all our achievers!

On this occasion, the ICBN Centre organized a talk by one of our alumnus Ms. Munmun Nandi, to give a talk on ‘How can B.Ed. Students adapt their teaching for the International Curricula?’

The students of the extension programme presented a play on female infanticide. This helped highlight current social issues and sensitise student-teachers towards the same. In order to lighten the mood, the current batch of students put up a spirited dance performance which was appreciated by all. The programme ended with light refreshments, and promises to meet again the following year.
