At the heart of the evening was the launch of LAA CC’s annual activity calendar — a structured, three-point programme spanning the full year ahead:

2. Facilitating internships and externships for Loyola students.

    3. Organizing job fairs exclusively for alumni. 

“The Chennai Chapter continues to bring Loyolites together through meaningful programmes and shared experiences. The initiatives announced today will open more opportunities for alumni to connect with the college, interact with students, and participate in activities that benefit the wider community. We look forward to enthusiastic participation from members as these programmes unfold during the year.”

Mr. Karthik Sabanayagam, President, LAA CC & Founder and Managing Director, Sree Sumangala Group

“The Loyola alumni network has always played an important role in the life of the institution. Initiatives such as these help bring alumni closer to the college and create opportunities for collaboration with students and the community. It is encouraging to see Loyolites come together in large numbers and continue the spirit of fellowship that Loyola stands for.”

        Rev. Dr. A. Louie Albert SJ, Director, Loyola Alumni Association

With this year-long calendar in place, LAA CC reaffirms its commitment to being a vibrant, purpose-driven chapter that connects generations of Loyolites not just in celebration, but in collaboration and service.
