Our campus felt extra special as we hosted our annual Alumni–Senior University Chat last week.
We had alumni joining us both in person and online from Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US, each one bringing their own stories, study paths, and “here’s what I wish I’d known” moments. What made the afternoon so meaningful was how openly they spoke about the jump from IB to university, the surprises that came with living abroad, finding their people, settling into new routines, and all the real-life bits that don’t show up in admissions brochures.
Our seniors listened, asked thoughtful questions, and got a glimpse of what life after graduation can look like: messy, exciting, challenging, and full of growth.
This gathering came to life thanks to the guidance and coordination of Monica Villanueva and Michelle Collin, who continue to nurture these connections annually.
Thank you to all alumni who supported us!
