VMU Alumni Day 2021
Vytautas Magnus University continues its traditions and invites graduates to remember their Alma Mater.
On November 11th, 4:30 p.m. (EET, UTC +2), we invite graduates and community members of Vytautas Magnus University to participate in the discussion with VMU alumni from all around the world (in English) via Microsoft Teams.
During the virtual meeting, we will present the university’s Alumni Club as well as its activities and discuss the university’s benefits package for our Alumni. During the discussion, we will be looking forward to hearing your story and your opinion on what you expect from the university after graduation, how you envision your contribution to the University as an alumnus, and more.
VMU graduates and community members who wish to participate in the discussion are invited to register. A link to join the video conference will be sent to the email address you specify in the registration form before the meeting.
