This year, the AUCAA has a very special Homecoming event planned for our alumni community!

Join us and your fellow alumni as we take you on a guided tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival. Expect a day of nostalgia and reflection amid good company - while we walk along the sides of the Amsterdam canals together. Starting at 5pm we will walk with you through the city you came to know as your home, marveling on the beauty of our wonderful city and the light festival.

Later in the evening, our walk will transform into a cozy borrel as we make our way toward the famous and elegant Café De Jaren! There you can warm up with familiar faces and connect with old friends.

You can purchase tickets for the guided walking tour and borrel separately, and the borrel includes snacks and 2 drinks.

Program

17.00-19.00 Guided tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival - Along the canals of Amsterdam
19.00-20.30 Homecoming Borrel at Café De Jaren

When? Saturday 10th December 2022, from 17:00 onwards

Where? We will meet up at Café De Jaren around 4:30pm, and begin the walk at 5pm. Eventually we will make our way back toward Café De Jaren for the borrel!

How? You may purchase tickets via the Eventbrite Link.

We have been trying to create a worthy event for our alumni for some time. We literally can’t wait to see you all there!

It’s that time of the year again - our annual Master’s Preparation Event is upon us! And of course - as is tradition - it will be followed by a borrel.

Or maybe you are yet to apply to graduate school and want to find out how other alumni experienced it? Then sign up now for the Master's Preparation Event!

CALLING ALL AUC ALUMNI!

Remember that time when you studied at AUC and had no clue what to do next? Do you wish there would have been an older, more experienced, wise alumni to give some advice on what master’s to do or where to travel in your gap year? This is your chance to become that helpful alumni!

Help out a current AUC student with your wisdom and experience joining AUCAA’s Social Walk as a walking buddy! You will be paired with one or two current AUC students and go explore the beautiful streets of Amsterdam this June 26th from 14:00 to 16:00. This not only provides a great opportunity to discuss post-graduation life and careers, but you get to meet new people, have some physical activity, and grab a coffee on your way!

To participate, simply fill in this form to tell us a bit about your AUC history and what you’ve been up to since graduating! As soon as we’ve found your walking partner(s), we’ll send you an e-mail with their name(s), some practical information, and your personally curated walking route (which included pit-stops for coffee and a bite to eat). All YOU have to do is show up with some comfy walking shoes and excitement! 

Can’t make it on the 26th but want to stay up to date for future events like this one? Follow us on Instagram, and join the AUCAA LinkedIn and Facebook groups for internship opportunities, upcoming events and more!

We hope you’ll join us on June 26th! 

Love, the AUCAA

CALLING ALL CURRENT AUC STUDENTS!

Stuck in your room and need to get out and about? Eager to meet new people? Yearning for some wisdom on life after graduation? Still don’t know whether to pursue a master’s degree or take a gap year? Go on a walk with an AUC alumni during AUCAA’s Social Walk event on June 26th from 14:00-16:00! 

Walking is a great opportunity to get out, meet alumni and energize your mind. Find a reason to leave the dorms, get outside and enjoy the fresh air with an ex-AUC student to contemplate life, talk about what to do after AUC, or even help you decide on which master’s degree to pursue!

Sounds good? Simply sign up via this form to tell the matchmakers (us) a little bit about yourself. Within a few weeks we will contact you via email with the name of your walking buddy, as well as some more practical information. No idea where to walk to? Don’t worry, we’ve got you guys covered! You and your walking buddies will be provided with a scenic route and some great tips for local pitstops for some coffee and/or lunch. All you have to do is show with some comfy walking shoes and excitement! 

Can’t make it on the 26th but want to stay up to date for future events like this one? Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and join the AUCAA LinkedIn group (yes, current AUC students are more than welcome!) 

Hope to see you on June 26th!

The Dutch parliamentary (Tweede Kamer) elections are around the corner, so the AUCAA is back to get you up to speed! Julia Keizer (moderator) is joined by alumni Cille Kaiser (class of 2017) and Joris van Schie (class of 2018). Together, they discuss various topics, such as EU- and climate scepticism, the future of COVID-19 measures and political polarisation. Moreover, any questions that YOU may have concerning these unprecedented elections will be discussed by the panelists. Use the sign up form to join us on Zoom this March 11th from 17:30 to 19:00 (CET). Find the Facebook event here.

See you there!
