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.
