The CEU Alumni Teahouse for new students on Friday, September 9, 2011 was a great success, with the best turnout of students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends that CEU has ever had at the annual Welcome Afternoon. CEU's brand new Nador u. 13 building accommodated a comfy lounge area with complementary tea and cookies for the Alumni Teahouse, an exhibition of CEU student clubs and initiatives on-campus for students, as well as a CEU gifts corner where guests could purchase some CEU-branded merchandise.
The Welcome Afternoon program also featured talks by CEU President John Shattuck and Vice President for Student Services Peter Johnson, as well as a live salsa performance and informal workshop. More from the 2011 CEU Welcome Afternoon is coming soon on the Welcome Events page.
The Alumni & Careers team would like to thank all our alumni who generously gave their time to join us during their working hours and help make the new members of the CEU family feel welcome and at home. We hope our alumni also enjoyed making new contacts and reconnecting with old friends.

We welcome your ideas on how to make next year's Alumni Teahouse even better! Please send your thoughts to Szilvi Molnar via e-mail.
Special thanks goes out to the 2011/12 academic year's recipients of the Alumni Scholarship: the 20 outstanding individuals whose studies at CEU have been made possible by the financial and moral support of CEU alumni. They came to the Alumni Teahouse to personally welcome alumni at the registration table and make sure that everyone felt good to be back on-campus. It's setting out to be an exciting year for our stellar 20 and we look forward to sharing their stories and talent with the global alumni community.
