St Aloysius College (Autonomous) organised its 16th grduation day on Saturday, wherein 2,630 students graduated.

As many as 91 rank holders were honoured with 16 special prizes awarded to exceptional performers.

The ceremony featured a solemn oath-taking led by St. Aloysius Institutions’ rector Fr Brian Pereira, followed by the official declaration of the convocation by St. Aloysius (Deemed to be University) Chancellor Fr. Dionysius Vaz.

Delivering the convocation address, Kuvempu University Vice-Chancellor Sharath Ananthamurthy encouraged the graduating students to carry the Aloysian spirit of learning, growing and serving generously in their future lives.

He said, “Education in a technology driven world must retain its spirit of enquiry and nurture the ability to learn how to learn. St Aloysius has always done commendable work on this front.”

Fr. Vaz urged students to pursue what they love doing and transcend above the rat race. “Have faith in yourself, enable the world with the spirit of serving, and enrich the world with new knowledge,” he said.

St. Aloysius Vice Chancellor Praveen Martis, Registrar Ronald Nazareth and others were present.
