BEI / Study USA Thanksgiving Alumni Networking Event London 21 Nov 2024

Following the successful alumni networking event in Belfast in January 2024, the British Council are planning two events in November to celebrate Thanksgiving and 30-years of the Study USA programme. The events in Belfast and Londonwill provide a networking opportunity for alumni to re-connect, socialise, and network. There will be a £5 online registration fee for BEI / Study USA alumni to reserve their place.

Join us at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith for a fun evening to reminisce on American adventures and celebrate thanksgiving. Light refreshments will be available. 

If you have any questions about the event, please contact Mary Carson, Study USA Programme Manager (mary.carson1@britishcouncil.org) or the Alumni Volunteer Lead Lucy Briggs via LinkedIn.

Starting in 1994, the Study USA programme (originally known as the Business Education Initiative) was originally designed to assist with the peace process, with the White House providing an endorsement for the programme in 2014 in a letter written by President Bill Clinton. Since then, the initiative has enabled over 2000 students studying in Northern Ireland to study in all four corners of the US. Through providing a unique international experience for the students, the programme has helped to develop important connections between Northern Ireland and the US, strengthening cultural and economic links and understanding between the two countries.
