I have come across people who complain that the alumni do not take interest and that there alumni gatherings are a waste of time due to lack of participation. Numerous complaints, failures, bickerings makes one thing why a person who having passed out of a school does not want to go back or does not take active interest or any type of interest in the alumni association or gatherings etc.
Possible reasons:
1. Unhappy time at the school
2. Quality of the institution has dropped so much that the alumni do not want to be seen belonging to the institution.
3. Drab uininteresting events
4. A few people wanting to control the alumni association not allowing broader particpation.
5. The institution demostrates a motive not in favouor with the alumni.
6. Demands being made of the alumni at the gatherings.
7. Moved away from the city where institution is situate.
8. Insufficient participation from the same batch of students.
I am sure there are many more reasons why there is lack of participation, in my opinion if the institution keeps building on quality and reach it guarantees a good attendance and a want to belong.
