CEU history was made again last Wednesday as the university’s Founder and Honorary Chairman George Soros met with several major donors to the Alumni Campaign.
Mr. Soros was visiting the campus for the launch of the Hungarian edition of his book The Soros Lectures: George Soros at Central European University.
Afterwards he spoke privately with the alumni donors and thanked them for supporting the campaign, now in its final weeks. It was the first time he had met with them as a group.
Mr. Soros told those gathered that “the future of the university depends on its alumni.”
In addition to meeting Mr. Soros, during last Wednesday's event alumni donors were introduced to several of this year’s Alumni Scholarship Recipients.
The students introduced themselves and thanked the alumni for their support of scholarship fund which makes their studies at CEU possible.
Donors also discussed the ways in which they can be more active in the coming Alumni Campaign, and how they can take greater leadership roles in their respective alumni communities.
Thanks to our alumni donors for their support and for the great event!
