The International Alumni Office organized its second International Alumni Reunion & Conference during the first weekend of October (2\u20133 October 2026).

\"\"The two-day event began on Friday with an informal reception at the Student Centre, where current students could meet and exchange ideas with alumni at thematic tables. The highlight of the evening was the wine tasting, moderated by Bortodoor, who made the event even more engaging with veterinary trivia. The winners received amazing prizes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
