For any Alumnus or Alumna (masc. and fem. singl. of Alumni) of Rensselaer Polytechnic Insitute (R.P.I., New York state), or knows anyone who is, RPI is having a dinner event in Geneva next Friday, 10. Nov., the first time they are having an event in Switzerland. I spoke with the alumni office and they are starting an 'european initiative' effort to try to find 'lost alumni' and keep closer contact and see this a prelude to the RPI president, Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson's possible trip in the Spring. More details below.
