“The UTN Alumni Network is much more than a place to reconnect. It is a community that continues to explore new paths and shape the future together. Our graduates and former employees carry the spirit of UTN into the world while remaining an important part of our university’s ongoing development. Together, we are building a network that fosters innovation, creates new opportunities, and strengthens UTN’s impact and visibility across generations, both regionally and globally.“
– Prof. Dr. Michael Huth, Founding President
“Our alumni are a vibrant part of the UTN community–not only after graduation, but from their very first day at the university. Curiosity, a passion for knowledge, and a shared commitment to shaping the future connect us long after our time at UTN. As Founding Vice President for Employees, Alumni and Equality, it is especially important to me to strengthen these connections for the long term. An active exchange of ideas, a strong sense of community, and lasting relationships are at the heart of this commitment.“
– Arina Zonner, Founding Vice President for Staff, Alumni and Equity
“During my ten years in Sweden and the United States, I experienced firsthand how valuable international networks and lasting connections across institutions, countries, and different stages of life can be. As a young university, we are building not only academic programs and structures from the very beginning, but also a community. My message to all members of the UTN community and our alumni is this: Stay curious, stay involved, and stay connected with us. We look forward to hearing your ideas!“
– Prof. Dr. Isa Jahnke, Founding Vice President for Education and International Affairs
