Profile of the Alumni Association

St Joseph’s College is the very first private college in the city of Bangalore established in 1882. Over its multi-dimensional history, it has served the educational needs of the city, state and country and contributed to the growth and development of a wide variety of citizens. Students who have stepped out of the portals of their alma mater have always returned to it with tremendous gratitude and joy to be part of the ever-widening vision of individual excellence and community development. They have become stakeholders, partners and collaborators in the consistent renewal of the institution as it meets the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The motto of the college “faith and toil” has always invited them to re-shape the ecology of learning and scholarship in order to develop a more equitable and just society. Their desire to contribute to the education of the marginalized and the downtrodden to access higher education, find employment opportunities and develop into full citizens of society has urged the college to galvanize the alumni association. The alumni association continues to remain the major interface between the college and the world profoundly shaping and informing the continued enthusiasm with the Josephite spirit and tradition.
