JIS considers alumni to be anyone whose life has been touched by JIS - former students, graduates, parents of students, former faculty, former admin, and former staff. The alumni office is taking ambitious measures in setting a solid foundation from which the alumni office will thrive. In hopes that we can reignite the JIS spirit that many of us fondly carry in our hearts, we strongly feel that the sky is the limit in terms of how we can help each other, the JIS community, and those less fortunate than us. Together, we stand as a rich resource, and there are infinite opportunities and potential to be fulfilled. The alumni portal is a key conduit in reconnecting our alumni. The most impressive and much needed feature will be our directory. We have an up to date database where alumni (each with their individual profiles) can search for each other through a number of filters such as: region, class, profession, and affiliation to school. It is through this complete database that we hope to facilitate the following:
• Reconnecting with fellow alumni & forming new friendships
• Communication & networking
• Mentorships
• Internships
• Guest speakers
• Class representatives
• Regional representatives
In addition, we have tons of exciting new content for the website. Some of which include:
• Monthly newsletters
• Ongoing news (on and off-campus)
• The history and evolution of JIS
• Feature stories of fellow alumni
• Announcements: marriages, births, in memoriam, etc.
• Events Calendar (reunions, on-campus events, etc.)
• Visiting JIS (visitors form, personal tours, alumni IDs, and photos of alumni visitors)
• Class notes
• Photo Galleries
• School Memories
• Community service opportunities
• Yearbook e-library
The alumni office would like to re-emphasize that we are here to reconnect to JIS alumni on a global level. We want to be able to give back to you- in the most effective way possible. So, don’t hesitate to let us know how we can take steps towards achieving this.
