Alumni Reunited: Celebrating Our Global Community

Our alumni community is a testament to the lasting impact of our university. Over the past year and a half, we have hosted thirteen alumni gatherings all around the world, visiting nine different countries and connecting with over 100 students. Whether it's a small meeting of three or four people or a large group of over thirty, the memories and connections made are invaluable. Here's a recap of some of the most memorable moments from these gatherings.

Spring 2023 Alumni Gatherings

In the spring of 2023, we held alumni gatherings in Indonesia, Azerbaijan, and Cyprus. These events were an incredible opportunity to reconnect with our alumni, share experiences, and strengthen our global network. The enthusiasm and active participation of our alumni in these regions were truly inspiring.

Fall 2023 Alumni Gatherings

During the fall of 2023, we successfully hosted four alumni gatherings in Bangkok, Istanbul, Baku, and Jakarta. Our Turkish and Indonesian alumni have always shown remarkable enthusiasm and active participation. The gatherings in Jakarta and Istanbul were particularly memorable, with two participants even writing blogs about their experiences. We featured these stories in our previous newsletter, but if you missed it or want to reread, please find them here. Jakarta Alumni Gathering  and Istanbul Alumni Gathering

Spring 2024 Alumni Gatherings

The spring of 2024 saw us hosting alumni gatherings in six countries: Tunisia, Egypt, Indonesia (in both Jakarta and Yogyakarta), Turkey (Istanbul), South Africa (in Cape Town and Johannesburg), and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City). These events were marked by incredible enthusiasm and participation, further strengthening the bonds within our global alumni community.

Looking Ahead

These gatherings have reinforced the strength and diversity of our alumni network. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue fostering these connections through more events and initiatives. 

Stay tuned for announcements about our upcoming fall travels—we can't wait to see you there!
