After previous USA Alumni Tours in 2014 and 2018, we are back!
With a combined network of over 8,000 ‘4TU’ graduates in the United States, our alumni are not only valuable contacts for each other but also unique access points to exciting companies and organizations! Join us next month for ‘behind the scenes’ alumni events in:

- Chicago (20 April) at Adyen’s North America Tech Hub
- San Francisco (24 April) for a casual meetup reception
- San José (25 April) at the Silicon Valley R&D facility of ASML
These special gatherings are part 1 of the USA Tour organized by DEAN of the 4TU: Wageningen University & Research (WUR), TU Delft, UTwente and TU/e with evening programmes that include talks by local alumni about their career paths and current jobs at the host companies as well as updates from your alma mater. The closing ‘borrel’ drinks are a great opportunity for mixing with fellow alumni and will be organized to maximize networking opportunities.
In September we will continue with part 2 of the USA Tour including visits to New York, Washington DC and Houston. More information will follow soon!
