Connect. Engage. Give Back
Among many things, we know him famously as
the Emperor who fiddled while Rome
burned. But, it wasn't until Australian poet Geoffrey Lehmann translated Nero’s
literary works that we found out that Nero was in fact, an Emperor with a
vision.
In his poem, The New Academy, Nero quips “Education, not entertainment for the
masses is the answer!” Similarly, in Notes
for a New Civilization, he inked his vision of a modern society into our
minds:
“We swim on lapis lazuli days,
and enjoy melons on a terrace
and hearing poetry and plays
our Pax Romana hangs, the white
plume of Mount Aetna
over groves
by day, and a red fire at night.”
At the IIT Alumni Center , we share a vision that is no distant
from Nero’s.
The Center seeks to connect alumni and
faculty from the various IITs; engage in meaningful interactions; and
contribute to education and the industry. ‘Club in the City’ located in
Abhiramapuram, Chennai has been an ideal venue to accomplish this.
