ALUMNA Meaning and
Definition
-
Alumna is a singular noun of Latin origin that refers to a female graduate or former student of a school, college, or university. It is exclusively used to describe a woman who has completed her studies and obtained a degree from an educational institution. The term alumna is commonly employed to designate a woman who has graduated or left a particular alma mater, often to differentiate her from a male graduate, who would be referred to as an alumnus.
Who qualifies as an alumna generally depends on the specific guidelines set by the educational institution. Typically, one needs to have completed a minimum number of courses or attained a certain level of academic achievement to be recognized as an alumna. The term can be used irrespective of the field of study, whether it is humanities, science, engineering, or any other discipline.
Alumna, in many cases, retains a lifelong affiliation with the institution she graduated from, and may enjoy various benefits offered to alumni, such as access to career services, networking opportunities, or participation in alumni events. Alumnae often take pride in their alma mater and contribute to the institution's community, both financially and through volunteer activities. The word alumna serves as a respectful and celebratory title acknowledging a woman's educational achievement and her connection to her place of study.

Etymology of ALUMNA
The word "alumna" is derived from the Latin language. Its etymology can be traced back to the Latin word "alumnus", which means "nurtured" or "fostered". In Latin, "alumnus" referred to a male graduate or former student of an educational institution. The term "alumna", which is the feminine form, came into use to specifically refer to a female graduate or former female student. Both "alumnus" and "alumna" are still used today to denote graduates of various educational institutions, although the term "alumni" is commonly used for both genders in the plural form.
