Nearly 30 CEU alumni met in Vienna on Wednesday, June 5 for a special happy hour with President and Rector Michael Ignatieff. (See pics below.) It was the university’s largest alumni event in the Austrian capital thus far, and with CEU’s new campus opening there this fall, a likely foretaste of things to come.

Meeting at Vienna’s buzzing Magazin 3 Hacken restaurant, the crowd consisted of graduates of nearly every CEU academic unit and classes from 1993 to 2018. Guests also included two CEU couples - and the young daughter of one.

CEU alumni in Amsterdam, NL had a small but lively reunion on Tuesday, May 14. The event was hosted by Serge Sych (IRES ’97, LEGS ’99) CEU Vice President for Enrollment, Careers and Alumni Relations, at Café de Jaren.

The informal happy hour featured lively discussion about the latest CEU news, including the upcoming Vienna campus opening and the university’s new “2025” strategy. It was also a great chance for alumni to share what they’re up to and, not surprisingly, represent our community, if in microcosm.
