Almost 5000 Aalto Executive MBA graduates in Korea

Did you know, that Aalto University has more than 5000 alumni in Korea? Most of them are alumni from Aalto Executive MBA in Korea, a program which celebrated it’s 30th anniversary last year.

A long-time Board member in the Aalto University Alumni Association in Korea, Ms. Eun-mi Chae, Chairwoman in the Board of Directors of the SKC Co., Ltd., was presented the Distinguished Alum Recognition by Dean Timo Korkeamäki and President Ilkka Niemelä. Ms. Eun-mi Chae has shown extraordinary dedication to alumni engagement, notably through her active involvement and leadership in the Aalto University EMBA Alumni Association in Korea. Her leadership has strengthened the alumni network and inspired future generations of Aalto graduates.

Fond memories of Aalto

Meeting some of our exceptional alumni in India's very own 'Silicon Valley' Bangalore was both inspiring and insightful. Hearing their stories and transformative experiences at Aalto brought back fond memories and ignited enthusiasm among prospective students.

The memories of Finland remain forever etched in their hearts. Here are some standout thoughts shared by our alumni in India: 

• Aalto's unique teaching methodologies empower students to build expertise in niche areas, fostering gradual but profound growth.
• Studying in Finland isn't just about earning a degree — it's a rich, life-changing journey of acquiring invaluable skills.
• The Finnish education system is renowned for its flexibility, allowing students to explore diverse interests while maintaining a perfect work-life balance.
• Winters can be challenging, but they’re just another adventure you can conquer!

Become an alumni ambassador

We want to build an active international alumni community that consists of numerous local alumni networks around the world. 

In these networks, alumni ambassadors play a key role. Ambassadors, for example, organise alumni meetings, act as a contact point between the university and local alumni, and advise students who consider moving abroad for work or studies.

We encourage alumni to set up groups that will serve as a hub for networking, sharing opportunities, and organising future events and activities. 

We also would like to invite fresh graduates to participate with us in student recruitment fairs, where you can tell potential students about your study experiences in Aalto and your life in Finland.

Coming up this spring

This spring we will meet alumni in Hong Kong February 23, Copenhagen March 17, Peking March 17, Shanghai March 19, Barcelona March 22, Washington DC April 9, in Bangalore & New Delhi end of April, London beginning of June... and Oulu in Finland in June! There are also plans to meet in Germany and France soon. Furthermore our alumni ambassadors will organise get-togethers around the world.
