2025 Alumni Reunion: An Opportunity for Meaningful Contribution

Written by Sophie Pinard, ISP Alumna Class of 2022

Last Friday, ISP welcomed back its alumni for the 2025 Reunion, which proved to be the most successful yet, with 60 attendees,  including many from the Class of 2015 celebrating their 10th anniversary.

Two former teachers, Marcela Vesecka and Julie Lodi, also returned for the evening, adding a special touch of nostalgia. A heartfelt thank you to all alumni who joined us!

For the first time, the reunion was held in the Hub Library, where guests enjoyed three inspiring speeches from ISP Director Cal Callaway, and teachers John Crane and Lawrence Hrubes.

Dr. Callaway emphasised the importance of alumni contributing to ISP and invited all graduates to engage in meaningful ways - from guest lectures and mentorships to internships. Last year, the ‘Student-Led Business Seminar’ featured alumni lecturers Natalie Savić (Class of 2007), William Jalloul (Class of 2009), and Stefan Slavić (Class of 2009).

“As the new Director, I am honoured to reignite the partnership between the school and our alumni. Your knowledge, experience, and professional insights can directly shape our students’ futures through real-world opportunities such as internships and mentorships. Equally, reconnecting as a wider ISP community creates a powerful, lasting network.”
- ISP Director Dr. Cal Callaway

In addition, ISP plans to host a bi-annual Career Fair, inviting alumni to introduce students to their fields of expertise. Anyone interested can reach out to alumni@isp.cz - Alumni Coordinator Furugh Nahib (Class of 2009) is always happy to help arrange alumni involvement in these events.

Guests also enjoyed a complimentary Mexican-themed dinner courtesy of our new catering partner Aramark and a guided campus tour, exploring new facilities such as the Anatomage Table.

The 2025 Alumni Reunion was more than a celebration - it was a chance to reconnect, reminisce, and reflect on the impact alumni can continue to make at ISP. We look forward to seeing more of our alumni contributing to our community and returning for future reunions!
