2012 UAS7 ALUMNI WORKSHOP
You are part of a very unique cohort of individuals who can truly explain what it means to study at a German university of applied sciences to those outside of Germany. Since you are a product of this German specialty known as Fachhochschulen, we are invested in your success, and we hope that this alumni workshop will allow each of you to continue to build on your achievements and to share your knowledge and your networks with each other.

The inaugural UAS7 Alumni Workshop was held from August 29 - September 2, 2012 in the German House New York. Twenty-five alumni, all of whom spent a semester or year at a UAS7 member in Germany, spent four days learning about the latest developments in their fields from UAS7 lecturers, exploring international career opportunities, and networking with other alumni.
