Alumni Connect

December 05, 2023: It was a nostalgic journey down the memory lane when Sakshi Tickoo
and Prakhar Srivastav of School of Journalism & Mass Communication
(SJMC) batch 2017-21 visited their Alma Mater, Apeejay Stya University,
as part of an Alumni Connect held recently.

This alumni connect proved to be about making connections at different
levels. The way Prakhar, who is working as the junior output editor in
NDTV India spoke of his four years in the University, especially in the
hostel was endearing to say the least. He made connections with the
students who had come to listen to them. Talking about his love for
badminton and the time he spent on the court in ASU hostel, his
nostalgia was palpable. He said that ASU was his second home and it
means a lot to him to come back to his Alma mater and share his
experiences with existing students.

Sakshi was a day scholar while in the University and she talked about
how her teachers encouraged and inspired her to do well. She
confessed that when she dropped out of engineering course to pursue
her love for writing and hence journalism she was an introvert but how
teachers worked on her with the help of reading, writing and articulation.
She talked to students about different options they have in lifestyle
reporting and what she gets to do at Economic Times.
