16 years after the Azrieli Fellows Program was established in 2007, with a network of 300 alumni, we held the first Azrieli Fellows Program Alumni Reunion. Beyond meeting old friends, the aim of the evening was to assess the needs and desires of our alumni community and take our first steps to creating a vibrant and engaged Azrieli alumni network. We began with registration and mingling, and continued with a lecture about “The Science of Success” by Prof. (among many other titles) Yoram Yovell. Following a break (with more mingling), we held a structured networking sessions in which alums sat in predetermined tables to discuss a set of questions about the needs and functions of an alumni network. The evening concluded with dinner and wine, magnets, succulents, a gift … and a big desire for follow-up
