“Alumni contribute to making things come together, seeing the big picture, and sharing valuable insights and experiences from working life, companies, industries – the world. We are incredibly grateful for all the alumni who engage as mentors, speakers, guest lecturers, members of advisory boards, the board of representatives, and much, much more. It is greatly appreciated: Our alumni make DTU even better!”
This is what President Anders Bjarklev said on 10 October when he spoke to the specially invited alumni who attended the "The President's alumni evening" - an annual event where DTU thanks alumni who have made and are making a difference for DTU. This year, the event was held at DTU Health Tech, where exclusive tours were arranged with a presentation of some of the department's unique research facilities and research projects.
