“Alumni are one of the strong points of our university, and we need to keep in touch with them. Our Office, in particular, works with international alumni, and we had been looking for a way to establish cooperation between SUSU and international alumni for a long time. Soon we found out that there’s going to be a Forum of International Students and Alumni of Russian Universities, so we grabbed the chance to visit it,” says Valeria.

SUSU representatives came to the Forum with the goal to get acquainted with the President of the Global Alumni Alliance, Vladimir Chetiy, as well as for seeing in person the process of the Alliance’s interaction with alumni.
