Memorial Programme

A memorial is an object which serves as a memory of something, usually a person (who has died) or an event.

A programe is defined as a ‘‘planned series of events‘‘.

Sr. Juliet. M. Irene was the First Indian Principal of Stella Maris College from 1968 to 1978 and started the B.A. PR Department in 1975.

The Nandi Sloka in the Ramayana states ‘‘ajano-sujano-bhavati‘‘ meaning those who are no more are in our midst. Sr. Juliet. Irene was very committed to bridging the gap between the have‘s and have not‘s, the literate and illiterate. So the village adoption programe in Somangalam and the compulsory social service programs were infused with a zeal which made the faculty and students reach out to communities.

To honour such a person like Sr. Juliet. M. Irene the Department of Public Relations instituted a memorial programe, which was made up of a series of events :

 
Exhibition of the various programes in the PR Department
