Alagappa University Rusa Foundation

Our office is right on College Road in Alagappa Puram, over in Karaikudi. We are part of the university environment here, so there are always students walking past and bicycles everywhere. It’s a very academic part of town. We handle things for the RUSA foundation from this spot. It’s not a very big office, just a few rooms where we keep our records and meet with people. The building has that old university feel to it—high ceilings and some dust in the corners. We spend our time managing different projects and making sure the paperwork for the university is in order. It's not exactly thrilling work, but it's important for the foundation to keep running. We’ve all been working here for a while and we know the campus like the back of our hands. Karaikudi is a nice place, though it can get very hot in the summer. We usually keep the windows shut to keep the dust out. We don’t have any fancy marketing slogans or anything like that. We're just staff members doing our jobs. Sometimes we have meetings that go on too long, and other days it's very quiet. We just take it as it comes. Being near the university means there is always a sense of learning around us. We try to keep things organized, even if our desks don’t always look it. It’s just a regular office doing regular things for the school. We've been here for a good while and plan to stay as long as the work needs doing.
