Basel: End-of-Year-Gathering 2025

Seven alumni gathered in one of the transparent igloos, which offered a magical view of the beautifully lit interior of the Cultur Circus tent. While the winter air outside was crisp and cold, the atmosphere inside the igloo was warm and welcoming.

The evening began with a delicious pumpkin soup, followed by a platter of assorted meats as a starter. The highlight was, of course, the cheese fondue, which participants prepared themselves according to recipe, accompanied by a variety of traditional sides. To round off the evening, a rich chocolate mousse was served for dessert.

A shared bottle of white wine complemented the meal, and the cozy setting encouraged lively conversation and connection among alumni. The gathering was a wonderful opportunity to close the year together in good spirits and strengthen the bonds within our Columbia community.

We wish all alumni joyful holidays and a happy, healthy New Year!

Warmest regards,
