Alumni Week 2023 at KIS, March 1-6

In March 2023, over 150 alumni guests visited Kodai for the Field Day Alumni Reunion Weekend celebrations.  There was such a great show of love and community as the Classes of '71, '73, '93, '95, '03 and '13 returned to Kodai.  When asked about "why they would leave the comfort of their daily routines and homes to return to Kodai", many responded fondly that they were simply returning "home."

The celebrations included a formal banquet at the Alumni Hall for all the alumni visitors, staff and the graduation class of 2023.  The decor was stunning, the program varied and well put together, and the food was amazing.  The alumni had other arranged activities, including tours of the main campus and the Ganga campus, the Pep Rally prior to Field Day, Alumni races, Canteen in the Quad, and the famous Field Day lunch served on a banana leaf (with some of the older folks struggling to sit cross legged!).

The Class of '73, who was celebrating their 50th reunion, had 20 class members, and 5 spouses attending.  They spent several days together at Pandy and Gowri Bhaskeran's Yercaud coffee estate before coming to Kodai. It was a beautiful and full 9 days of bonding and getting reacquainted.  By the end of the reunion, everyone left reluctantly, but with a promise to keep in touch and keep the life-long friendships going.

The Class of '71 was unable to hold their 50th reunion in 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.  They jumped on the opportunity to come to the 2023 Alumni Week to celebrate their 52nd reunion.

Much gratitude goes to all at KIS for their thoughtful, loving and well organize Alumni Week!
