Looking back at the last alumni event
The alumni session during the Open House on June 14 at the Feringa Building offered a special programme for former students to reconnect and be inspired within the innovative environment of the new facility.
Starting with a warm welcome coffee in the atrium, alumni enjoyed a relaxed lunch gathering before the session officially began. The Dean opened with a talk on "The Power of Collaboration: From Research to Impact," highlighting how collaborative efforts inside and beyond the building drive innovation.
This was followed by a presentation from Anne Arkenbout, HSE director at Nobian and alumna, who shared her personal journey and insights into impactful scientific collaboration.
After the session, alumni were invited to explore the rest of the Open House, featuring guided tours, interactive demonstrations, student challenges, and family-friendly activities, celebrating the start of a new era of science and innovation at the university.
