Alumni Committee

The Alumni Committee is a committee of OTY, which, under the leadership of the Alumni Manager, ensures that the alumni aka the already graduated students and the former board members and actives of OTY and the guilds, also remain in the Teekkari community. The Alumni Committee has a representative from each guild. The section focuses on matters related to what kind of activities and communication are targeted at alumni. While working in the Alumni Committee may sound like a safe haven for old students before graduation, it isn’t. The committee aims to narrow the gap between current and already graduated engineering students.
