Uppsala University US Alumni Chapters
The Uppsala University US Alumni Chapter was founded in 2012 as the US division of the University’s Alumni Network. As of 2019, the US Chapter has been divided into two:
- New York
- San Francisco/Bay Area
The chapters aim to create and maintain a strong relationship between the University and its alumni located in the United States.
Alumni, former staff, researchers as well as friends and supporters of the University, are all welcome to become a part of any or all of the Uppsala University US Alumni Chapters and receive news of events, university-related activities and to connect with other alumni. Becoming a member of the chapters is completely free.
The New York Chapter
The US Alumni Chapter was founded in New York in 2012, in connection with the inauguration of the Uppsala University Scholarship in New York. The New York chapter has since its foundation hosted between two to four events each year, among them the popular Valborg celebrations and gasque.
The San Francisco/Bay Area Chapter
The San Francisco/Bay Area Chapter was created in 2013 as a sub-chapter to the US Alumni Chapter. Cultivating relationships with incoming and outgoing students and alumni in connection with Uppsala University’s exchange program with the University of California is one of the primary focuses for the San Francisco/Bay Area Chapter.
