The first Alumni Gives Back programme, a talk on "Celebrating Our Emotions: the EQ factor" was delivered by alumnus Rev. Lalfakawma Ralte, Asst Professor, Aizawl Theological College, at the college conference hall to a gathering of 1st and 3rd semester students at 3:10 pm on the 22nd September 2016.
The Alumni Gives Back programme is scheduled to be held once a month on Thursdays in the Talent Development Class for alumni members with different areas of expertise to impart talks and to have interaction with the present students, as a way of giving back to its alma mater.
Rev. Ralte was very active during his time in college, and was twice elected as Magazine Editor in 1996-1997 and 1997-1998. He was also the General Secretary of the Students' Union in 1998-1999. He graduated with Honours in Political Science in 1999. He then went on to do his M. Th. on History of Christianity. He is presently one of the four Vice Presidents of the Govt.

The talk today was very insightful and enlightening - on the importance of emotion and to handle our emotions wisely; students and teachers alike greatly benefitted from it. A certificate of appreciation was presented to him by Ms. Lalremruati, Associate Professor, Commerce Department, who is the Director of Students' Welfare, as well as Treasurer of the Alumni Association.
