The official alumni association of RICS School of Built Environment, R.O.A.R was launched at the alumni dinner on November 3, 2018. R.O.A.R (abbreviation of Rise of the Alumni of RICSSBE) will help in fostering relationships of alumni with one another and with the institution so that they feel connected with RICSSBE even when they have moved on their professional journey. The association will also help in lifting and providing necessary support to alumni in their career path.
The event began with Prof. Gautam Pant welcoming all the guest to the event followed by addresses of Sean Tompkins, CEO, RICS, Nimish Gupta FRICS, Managing Director – South Asia, RICS and Ashwani Awasthi, COO, RICS SBE. The logo was revealed through curtain raising by Sean and Chris Brooke, President Elect, RICS which consists of lion head resting on an opened book where the Lionhead signifies the roaring of alumni of RICS SBE and the book depicts Red and Black book of RICS that the alumni will follow in their profession and be the industry leaders. This was followed by lamp lighting by Sean, Chris, Nimish and Ashwani. This year, we also asked the alumni to share their memories at RICS SBE which was compiled in a video showcased at the event. On the side, a photo booth was also set up at the event to capture the memories which uploaded directly on the Facebook page of RICS SBE.
