The person welcoming them at each ceremony was Andy Adams, the driving force behind the Alumni Network. Following a career that included a long stint at Thomson Reuters (now LSEG) and Miami University, Andy joined the University in 2020 to create an alumni network and to develop the relations that the University keeps with its alumni.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\n<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap -mx-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-wrapper\">\n    <li class=\"w-full md:w-1\/2 p-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list-item\">\n    <div class=\"list-people bg-theme wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper list-people__container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper list-people__visual\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image w-full object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/andy-adams.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/andy-adams-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/andy-adams-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/andy-adams.jpg 1024w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper list-people__body\">\n<h3 class=\"list-people__title has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"andy-adams\"\n    >\nAndy ADAMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"list-people__description wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Alumni Relations Specialist<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-simple-cta\">\n    <a\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/people\/andy-adams\/\"\n        title=\"View profile\"\n        class=\"link-text link-text--icon list-people__link link-text link-absolute\"\n        target=\"\"\n    >\n        <span class=\"link-text__body\">\n            <span class=\"link-text__name\">View profile<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"who-are-the-uni-alumni\"\n    >\n<strong>Who are the Uni alumni?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>University of Luxembourg alumni are a microcosm of Luxembourg itself. There are almost 150 nationalities among our alumni and they are currently working in over 100 different countries, from Mongolia to Australia to the Cayman Islands. They really are everywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number 55 is a key figure in relation to our alumni. Around 55% of our alumni are non-Luxembourgish and 55% are female.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Group of alumni during the first summer party\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/First-Alumni-Summer-Party-in-2024.jpg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            The networking event at Hitch in 2023.        <\/p>\n    <\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"why-do-alumni-matter-so-much-for-the-university-of-luxembourg\"\n    >\n<strong>Why do alumni matter so much for the University of Luxembourg?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Luxembourg is only 21 years old but our alumni are already in positions of importance. Did you know that 4 current members of Parliament are alumni, and 2 ministers in the current government studied here as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our alumni are the best possible ambassadors for the University, says Andy Adams. Who is in a better position to speak about the University education, campus and student life, than the persons who studied here? They are also ideally placed to share their experiences with current students about future careers paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, this year we worked with the Bachelor en Cultures Europ\u00e9ennes programme to organise alumni panels in different career sectors for current students. Mentoring is also an area where we are looking to support the University in the future. We are working with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/life-en\/peer-support\/one-step-forward-mentoring-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One Step Forward mentoring programme to help them<\/a> expand their offering in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"the-uni-lu-alumni-network\"\n    >\n<strong>The Uni.lu alumni network<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students spend a couple of years on campus, but they will be alumni for the rest of their lives, continues Andy. Andy and colleague Liza Shliakhova set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alumni.uni.lu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alumni community platform<\/a>, which includes now more than 2,000 members. The platform is where \u201calumni happens\u201d, where members can register for events, keep up with news and profiles of other alumni, access special offers with our external networking and media partners, and join specific alumni groups. For career support, alumni can continue to access the Job Teaser platform and targeted job offers. Any member can post jobs or internships in their organisations for other members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members can subscribe to the quarterly alumni newsletter, use the online directory and integrated chat. There is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/showcase\/university-of-luxembourg-alumni-network\/\">alumni LinkedIn page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"whats-coming-up\"\n    >\n<strong>What\u2019s coming up?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve come a long way in a short time, but we are also only just getting started, says Andy. Mentoring is an area that will be mutually beneficial for both alumni and current students. We want to continue to work with the different study programmes in order to embed alumni in ways that fit each programme. We will also look to see where local alumni groups in different regions worldwide might be possible. We are already amazed that there is one in Mongolia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2025 marks 10 years of the Belval campus and we would love to celebration the history of the different university campuses over the University\u2019s short 21+ years of existence. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-unilux-blocks-gallery-carousel\">\n    <div class=\"swiper swiper-gallery\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"A gallery of images\">\n        <!-- Swiper button Next & Prev -->\n        <div class=\"swiper-nav\">\n            <div class=\"swiper-nav__container\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-nav__grid\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-next\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"swiper-button-prev\">\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-left \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-left\"><\/use><\/svg>                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- swiper slides -->\n        <ul class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            \n<li class=\"swiper-slide\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image swiper-slide__bg object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Alumni networking event\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-scaled.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/12\/2024-Annual-Alumni-Networking-event-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;
