NEW JERSEY: Victor Pais, a resident of Princeton Junction, NJ, for over ten years, has volunteered to help in the creation of a new business school for deserving students in Mangalore, India. The school will be part of St. Aloysius College, (SAC) Mangalore - a renowned educational institution that has been guiding young minds for the past 128 years. SAC is looking to widen the scope of the education services they already provide with the construction of a new campus. With the emerging economy in India and the need for trained professionals, SAC's new facility will offer Master's programs in Business Management and IT.

SAC has a strong history of educating deserving, but needy students from and around Mangalore, a community of mixed economic profile, but with strong belief in education. The generally poor condition of education in India results in ill-prepared output of students and has created a shortage of well educated graduates in the fast growing Indian economy, the school feels. SAC is now eager to fill this void through the addition of the new campus with a goal to create business school that will stand among the top 10 in India.

When a lack of an effective SAC Alumni network hampered SAC's search of publicity and financial support, Victor Pais stepped in to develop a Plan of Action to start and nurture a sustained drive to generate resources on a continuous and long-term basis through a growing but structured global Aloysian Partners International (API) uniting current local chapters of SAC alumni and attracting new partners. The Aloysian Partners of North America (APNA), an SAC alumni association (with tax exempt certification), in collaboration with API is hosting a promotional event at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in New York City on July 24.
