The festive program of VMU Connections

VDU

On November 8, Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), celebrating its 35th re-establishment anniversary this year, will host a special event: VMU Connections. This event will bring together pupils, students, alumni, and business representatives with a shared purpose - to connect, exchange knowledge, experiences, and explore career opportunities.

For the first time, the university will host an event of this format, bringing together current and former VMU students, the university community, and future students - school pupils - in one space. Each group will have tailored content relevant to their stage of life: pupils will receive guidance on career paths, students will explore initial job opportunities, and graduates will return to inspire others by sharing their experiences. For businesses, VMU Connections offers a platform to meet young talent, introduce their companies, and connect with future professionals.

We invite VMU international alumni to join these events and celebrate this day of connections together.
