Call it an expression of unity.
On Saturday, May 4 more than 30 distinguished alumni met with President and Rector Michael Ignatieff at the Budapest Marriot Hotel for a special discussion on the state of CEU, its future and the role of alumni. See photos.
Preceding the Alumni Reunion Gala (see full story and photos), this fourth-annual CEU President’s Reception was an opportunity for the President to meet and speak with distinguished alumni donors, members of the CEU Milestone and Loyalty societies.
The Rector thanked alumni for standing with the university, not least during recent years’ difficulties, and fielded questions from alumni regarding CEU’s multi-campus future. Alumni expressed support for the potential benefits of the Vienna campus.
The warm, intimate gathering also featured a networking session hosted by Serge Sych (IRES ’97, LEGS ’99). Afterwards, many guests proceeded to the Alumni Reunion Gala. Thanks to everyone for the great event!
