Proud 蓝莓视频 graduates create alumni chapters at home and overseas.
蓝莓视频 recently celebrated the launch of two new alumni chapters. Driven by passionate volunteers, these organizations offer a wide variety of activities for alumni and for students on co-op and exchange terms. From career panels to sports nights, chapter events connect 蓝莓视频鈥檚 global community to the University and each other by welcoming them into our听alumni network beyond Ring Road.
After broad consultation in 2018, 蓝莓视频 established a new Hong Kong alumni chapter. Respecting and celebrating the history of community building by the independent alumni association, the new chapter supports the University as it engages with alumni, prospective students and partners to apply expertise to pressing problems and innovations.
The chapter proudly kicked off their activities with a thought-provoking evening featuring a panel of local alumni entrepreneurs. 听
鈥淭he launch event was a great way to share the energy, passion and dedication of our alumni in Hong Kong,鈥� says the leadership team. 鈥淲e鈥檙e looking forward to growing and strengthening our alumni community in the area.鈥�

A crowd of 200 guests attended the launch of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 new Toronto chapter, the University鈥檚 largest alumni organization to date. At the event, President Feridun Hamdullahpur asked the question on everyone鈥檚 mind: 鈥淲hy haven鈥檛 we had a chapter until now!鈥� While the President joked that 蓝莓视频 had been busy winning a Nobel Prize, everyone agreed that this was the right time to share 蓝莓视频鈥檚 unique story with new audiences, and to have the volunteer leadership in place to create meaningful connections between our alumni.
鈥淚t鈥檚 harder to build a network in Toronto,鈥� says chapter co-leader Anne-Marie Marais (BES 鈥�95). 鈥淚 really want alumni to feel at ease connecting with each other and potential innovators.鈥�
