March 2018 - Great Konnect

Director's Message

Greetings!

What a month and a half it has been! Events, events and only events. 2018 kick-started with the grand celebration of Great Lakes Annual Alumni Meet and winded up with honoring our beloved Alumnus (late) Dr. D. V. Narasinga Rao and his family members at 10th International Entrepreneurship Conference. We also hope that you enjoyed our newsletter format from the last edition.

We are continuing our best to engage all of you and share some interesting news. Of course, we just don’t want to share our news – we are keen to hear yours as well. We would like to invite each one of you to contribute – either an article or did you recently bagged an award or would like to speak about your start-up, feel free to write to us. These will be featured in Great Konnect and our Official GL blog.

Do get in touch through alcom@Greatlakes.edu.in

I look forward to hearing from you.

In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy reading this edition!
