The McDonnell International Scholars Academy 10 Year Anniversary & Alumni Event
The Next Academy Alumni Workshop was a a major, 10-year reunion event.
The Academy Scholars are part of a group of future global leaders who have been shaped by their time together in graduate or professional degree study at Washington University in St. Louis. Our goal is to increase the strength of their network with alumni workshops. These provide an opportunity for alumni to reflect on the experiences they have had since graduating. While we seek to provide opportunities for discussion for alumni, we also want to be sure this discussion is heard by current scholars, academy ambassadors, members of the steering committee, and members of the external advisory committee, and other guests.
Hosted on the Danforth Campus of Washington University in St. Louis, we celebrated our alumni and our 10 year anniversary. Workshops, guest lectures and gala receptions culminated in a weekend full of activities and networking opportunities.
