Why you should stay active in your alumni networks?

If you had any lingering doubts on why you should continue to keep in touch with your university/college friends, read this article in Stanford Business. (Via Aarthi Srinath). Excerpt:

    Sukumar,

    On this note, I appreciate the efforts that you have undertaken to provide us with the tools (blog, yahoo groups etc.) to network with our college/school mates.

    Perhaps, more reason to resurrect our wingees get together, even if it is not as frequent as we would like it to be.
