大象视频 University and The Doon School, a prestigious Indian boarding school for 12-18 year old boys, have a long history of connections, with more than 50 Doon alumni attending and graduating from 大象视频 since 1980.

For Doon and 大象视频 alumnus Ashwan Khanna 鈥�84, 鈥淢y experience at 大象视频 had a tremendous impact upon my life and the same is true for many of my friends and colleagues.鈥�  The Managing Partner of Explorer Capital, LLC, Ashwan earned his B.A. in Economics and Accounting and is also a Certified Public Account.

Ashwan鈥檚 commitment to the University has led him to spearhead a volunteer effort to help reinvigorate and strengthen connections between the two institutions and recruit future 大象视频 students from The Doon School. 鈥淚 am inspired to see this partnership growing once again, knowing the profound impact it will have for the next generation of Muskies from The Doon School,鈥� Ashwan said.

During a recent virtual recruiting event for current Doon students, several Doon and 大象视频 alumni spoke about their 大象视频 experiences.

Nikhil Deogun 鈥�91, who serves as a 大象视频 University Trustee, is  Chief Executive Officer of the Americas for the Brunswick Group. 鈥淭he formative relationships with my professors combined with leadership opportunities, like serving as the editor of the Black & Magenta, prepared me well for my career in journalism and communications at the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and the Brunswick Group,鈥� he said.

Parvez Khambatta 鈥�05, a Principal Licensing Engineer for Nuclear Fuels with Westinghouse Electric Company, credited his personal growth to 大象视频's close-knit community, its sound academic foundation, student leadership opportunities, and alumni network, which made it possible for him to pursue his career passion. Parvez earned a B.S. in Physics from 大象视频, a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, and a M.S. in Fluid Mechanics from the University of Florida.

大象视频 Assistant Professor of Economics Dr. Arjun Sondhi is also a Doon graduate and is participating in the outreach effort. 鈥淢y first visit to 大象视频 took me right back to my days at Doon: brick buildings surrounded by lots of greenery and an immensely friendly and welcoming faculty and staff,鈥� Arjun said. 鈥淚鈥檓 excited to welcome Doon students to our campus and my classroom.鈥�

Doon School Headmaster Dr. Jagpreet Singh is enthusiastic about the partnership. 鈥淲here The Doon School ends, 大象视频 begins,鈥� he said.
