Alumni Network of Marien University Hospital & School Gelsenkirchen

The image of the ‘alma mater’ (the kind and nurturing mother) has established itself as a fixed concept for ‘university’. Students are metaphorically nourished with knowledge and education.

The term alumni (from the Latin alere meaning to nourish or raise; masculine = alumnus; feminine = alumna) describes the ‘offspring’ of the respective alma mater. Alumni are thus on the one hand former students, but on the other hand also former university staff. Many other words are used to describe the former associates of a university, but we have agreed on alumnus and alumna, since this makes established members out of former associates of the Marien University Hospital & School.
