On December 6th, 2023, we hosted our annual holiday party at the German House. Every year, the New York liaison offices of German universities, including University of Cologne, Campus OWL, UA Ruhr, University of Heidelberg, University of Freiburg, UAS7 and the German Research Foundation (DFG) celebrate a joint holiday celebration for friends, partners, and alumni.

At the Global Careers Fair 2023 hosted by Northeastern University, the UAS7 team was invited to have a booth on the localized.world platform. During the hour-long session, students received an overview of UAS7's study abroad opportunities, as well as information on German Universities of Applied Sciences and the student lifestyle in German cities.

On February 22, 2023, Colorado School of Mines invited us to provide an information session on UAS7's study abroad opportunities. We specifically discussed our research internships for their undergraduate students.

Consul General David Gill warmly welcomed UAS7 friends, alumni, and other German universities to the anticipated annual New Year's Reception held on February 9th, 2023 at the Consul's residence. This event was a perfect occasion to connect, network and celebrate the new year in style. As always, the gathering was buzzing with excitement and provided a fantastic opportunity for UAS7 alumni in the greater New York area to reconnect and form new connections. It was truly an unforgettable experience that left everyone with a sense of renewed energy and enthusiasm for the new year!

On December 7, 2022 the Alumni Holiday Gathering had its comeback after two years. Together with the liaison offices of German universities located in New York City, the German Research Foundation (DFG), and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) we organized our well missed event at the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany New York. Friends and alumni of various German universities and institutions came together to kick-off the holiday season.

About 150 undergraduate and graduate students, young professionals, career service advisors and anyone interested in studies abroad joined us online for the virtual Germany Grad Fair 2022 on November 8.

This year, the hybrid event took place from 17 to 28th of October, gathering more than 140 students from 12 universities from all over the world. The multicultural teams worked hard to develop solutions tackling the Sustainable Development Goal 11: make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

The Career Booster Germany organized by the Goethe-Institute on November 4th, 2022 gave the UAS7 New York team ample opportunity to chat with various students and young professionals interested in degree programs, internships, short-term studies and research in Germany.
