Online events for alumni abroad
On Thursday 7 May at 20.00 hrs alumni living in Germany are invited to a special online event and borrel for our DEAN* communities in the country.
Programme
The interactive evening programme includes brief updates from the universities, followed by a short talk by TU Delft alumna Esin Işık, senior product designer at Zalando since 2017. During her talk Esin will give us a glimpse inside the company while exploring the role of emotions and big data in the design of digital products used in our daily lives, and how designers work with them.
Founded in 2008 in Berlin, Zalando is one of Europe’s largest online fashion platforms. The company offers over 2500 brands and an assortment of over 500,000 items to customers from 17 countries with 350 million visits per month to their websites!
Per tradition, our gathering concludes with a virtual borrel (BYOB) where you and fellow alumni living in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, München, Stuttgart and other parts of Germany will be mixed with each other to maximize interactions and stimulate conversations! Make sure to also bring some snacks and drinks for the borrel!
Why are these online events being organized? Alumni networks are extremely useful resources for tapping into fellow alumni for advice and support particularly during crisis periods. The new online event format has been developed to enhance local connections between alumni and is an addition to the existing channel the LinkedIn Group DEAN Germany and newly city based WhatsApp Groups
