2004 Euro-Alumni Meet in Strasbourg

It's been roughly 14 years since a small group of European MBA's from 1990/91 gathered on a weekend in Brussels, Belgium, to establish the SBA's Euro-Alumni Association. This past June, the tradition continued when the Euro-Alumni Reunion Weekend was held in Strasbourg, France, on June 25-27. More than 30 alumni and family members hailing from Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Lebanon and the United States attended the weekend-long activities.

Our thanks once again to alumnus Stanley Guerard '94 who single-handedly organized a weekend that included discounted hotel rates, tours of the Kronenbourg Brewery and Strasbourg's museum, a river cruise, and meals at several superb restaurants. Alumnus Reza Arabnia '87 delivered the keynote luncheon address to an audience that included Dean Curtis Cook, his spouse Dr. Ruth Cook and faculty member Dr. Ellen Cook. Alumnus Arnaud Haefelin '91 - titular head of the Euro-Alumni Association - observed, "Every year we enjoy seeing both new and returning alumni. And, this year in Strasbourg, we had the highest alumni attendance ever! A worldwide USD alumni network is gaining force."

Stay tuned for the next European city selected to host the 2005 Euro-Alumni Reunion Weekend. Mark your calendar now for June 25, 26 & 27, 2005, if you hope to attend.
