Members of CEU Alumni and Friends in Serbia met with newly-accepted CEU students for a pre-departure orientation meeting in Belgrade on Thursday, August 9. Students met with alumni at the Belgrade Open School for a briefing on what to expect at CEU and in Budapest, where they are expected to arrive later this month.

Pre-departure orientations offer a fantastic opportunity for alumni to share their experiences with incoming students, as well as a chance for new students to meet and make connections with each other before leaving for CEU.
