Alumni News

It was high time to catch up. And on Thursday, May 30 CEU alumni and friends held their first meetup in Ljubljana, Slovenia in a decade!  

Ten CEU alumni met at Ljubljana’s Pritličje bar and cultural center – and talked for nearly four hours straight! Things got nostalgic, with stories of student days and parties – and readings of Foucault – as well as stories of post CEU life and talk of the future, including CEU’s move to Vienna.

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.
