Whether launching a new career, reconnecting with old friends, or making a difference in your community, the UNIS Hanoi spirit continues to thrive.

As the days grow brighter, we send our best wishes to you and your families. We invite you to take a moment to catch up on some exciting alumni highlights from across the globe.

 

Global Reunions: A Year of Connection

From Hanoi to London, Melbourne to Washington, DC, and the Class of 2014 10-Year Reunion, our alumni gatherings have been filled with laughter, reconnections, and shared memories. Check out the photos and relive the moments.
And the reunions don’t stop there! Join us for two upcoming gatherings:
