Vice President of International Affairs, Ms. Susana Leano, closed the formal remarks with a few words of appreciation, highlighting the power of alumni connections and the university’s continued efforts to strengthen ties beyond graduation.
 

One of the highlights of the evening came when each guest stood to introduce themselves, sharing their names, specialties, and UAG memories. From family medicine physicians and general surgeons to communication sciences and engineering graduates, the event showcased the diversity and strength of the UAG alumni network.

The night was filled with great conversation, new connections, and a renewed sense of community. With such a strong kickoff, the Austin Chapter is well on its way to becoming an active and impactful part of UAG’s expanding alumni network.
