The great equalizers are alumni in any institution of higher learning, as they are the difference makers in the building growth and reputation of their alma mater. This is so true in the case of the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the said country. UST has greatly contributed to the production of many influential alumni in many substantial fields. These alumni act as role models for the current students, while strengthening the university's legacy through achievements and leadership. Perhaps one of the strongest rationales as to why alumni leaders are so important has to do with their power to inspire and motivate new generations. By way of shared experience, they may provide insight and grasp of the practice of surmounting obstacles, creating innovative solutions, and fostering professional trajectories. Such mentorship, in this way, might shape and influence the next class of leaders in developing complete graduates.
