During this third alumni meeting of the Twente alumni circle, we welcomed the Rector Magnificus of the University of Twente: Thom Palstra. Palstra studied physics, obtained a PhD at Leiden University and has been affiliated with the University of Groningen since 1996. During the meeting he spoke about the UT as 'Groninger alumnus'. There was also plenty of time to catch up with former fellow students or to make new contacts. Below is the full program of the evening.

For this meeting we asked a contribution of € 25.00 per person as a contribution towards the costs, including drinks and a dinner in De Wilmersberg.
