Alumni conference for student boards

LOOKING FOR A LARGE NETWORK OF ENTREPRENEURS, TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS, CEOS & SCIENTISTS in the NetherLands and abroad?

Need a network involved with the University of Twente and your study association or student club?

With 60,000 alumni spread all over the world, UT has such a network! UT alumni can be found in big companies like Apple, Google, Philips and ASML, but also in small, specialised companies or in other universities and organizations worldwide.

UT study associations and student clubs can make use of the Twente alumni network, connecting with companies, organising conferences and company visits and getting sponsorships are just a few of the many opportunities that contact with alumni offers. The possibilities are numerous, but for many student groups it is difficult to both find relevant alumni and maintain good contact with them: a challenge the UT Alumni Office would like to help with. For this reason, we organise an annual gathering for new student board members. 

The Alumni Conference for Student Boards is a special event for all UT study associations and student clubs focused on sharing best practices on how alumni can support your activities and how your groups can build stronger connections with its members.

Join this lunch and best practices event that includes moments to get to know each other. 

This event welcomes all board members of UT study associations and student groups including clubs, teams and social fraternities.

Date & time: Thursday 10 October, 2024 from 13:00 to 17:00

Location: The Gallery Grand Café
