Alumni Association of the New University

About Alumni Association of the New University

A student becomes an alumni member of the New University the moment he or she graduates from any faculty, its member or associate member, or from any of its undergraduate or postgraduate study programs. Likewise, members of the Alumni Association of the New University are automatically all graduates who graduated from member faculties of the New University before it was founded. Of course, every graduate is allowed to decide for himself whether and to what extent he wants to be really active within the Alumni Association (e.g. what types of information he wants to receive at his address, which areas of cooperation he might be interested in, and which circumstances and innovations from he wants to share his life with other members of the Alumni Association). The latter is stated in the attached Statement.

Collective members of the Alumni Association are also all Alumni clubs, societies and groups that connect graduates of a certain faculty, province or study generation, or are founded on their own initiative by graduates who want to connect for some other reason.
