Location
Consulate General of the Netherlands
120 Kearny Street San Francisco, CA 94108Description
It is our pleasure to invite you to a special evening for University of Groningen alumni at the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco on January 5th. Celebrate the start of the new year with fellow Groningen alumni and learn about the (international) alumni chapters of the University of Groningen.
Reception San Francisco
A few active alumni based in San Francisco are enthousiastic about setting up an alumni chapter and will introduce themselves and the plans. Moreover, Rector Magnificus of the University of Groningen, Elmer Sterken, will attend the event to meet you and share the latest news about your Alma Mater. The director of the Ubbo Emmius Fund, Gerbrand Visser, will update you on RUG services for alumni abroad. Drinks and light snacks will be served.
Alumni Chapters
To reach out to alumni abroad, the RUG is founding Alumni Chapters all over the world. Members of these chapters come together a few times a year to network with fellow alumni, get updates from their Alma Mater and attend interesting lectures. Alumni Chapters in New York City, Washington DC, Zurich, Berlin, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta and the United Arab Emirates have been established and we are currently taking steps to create a network in San Fransisco. We are planning this first alumni event on January 5th, to meet you, find out if there is enough interest for a more established RUG Alumni Chapter, and discuss your expectations from such a network.
We look forward to bringing RUG alumni together in San Francisco!
