Austrian Alumni Celebrate Spring in New York

Austrian Consulate-General New York

The Austrian Consulate General had the distinct pleasure of hosting the “Frühlingsfest of New York Alumni Chapters,” bringing together graduates from various Austrian universities now living in New York. It was evening of reconnection and forward-looking conversations, as attendees exchanged memories from their student years, discussed career paths and shared new opportunities for collaboration within the transatlantic network.

A special highlight of the evening were the remarks by Professor Christoph Badelt, President of the Austrian Fiscal Council and former director of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Professor Badelt offered thought-provoking insights into the challenges and intricacies of today’s global economic ecosystems – sparking dialogue among guests. From shared heritage to shared ambition, the evening served as a powerful reminder that our bonds – academic, professional and cultural – transcend national borders. Events like these strengthen the ties between Austria and the United States, reaffirming our commitment to international exchange and enduring friendship.
