After months of anticipation it’s finally here: CEU’s first alumni-centric space on campus, the Alumni Lounge!

Last Friday night, more than 30 CEU alumni from Budapest and beyond came to help us launch this important new space with a very special champagne reception. Thanks to everyone who joined us! SEE PICS.

We are deeply saddened to report the passing of CEU alumnus Artak Galyan (POLS ’10, Armenia), who died on Tuesday after a prolonged illness. He was 35 years old.

In addition to earning his MA, Artak was a PhD candidate and teaching assistant with the CEU Department of Political Studies, where he forged many strong friendships with classmates and faculty. His career achievements included stints as a Fieldwork Coordinator with the Institute for Political and Sociological Consulting, and as an intern with the United Nations Development Program in Pristina, Kosovo, among others.
