Close to 150 guests attended the celebratory dinner at Hemingway Restaurant. We had CEMS Alumni from more than 20 class years. As an Alumna put it:
“It was a truly special occasion! A large group of people from our age group showed up. I almost wished the gathering had lasted a whole day, so I could have talked to all my dear old friends.”
