City University Qatar Celebrates the Launch of Its Alumni Programme with a First-Ever Reunion

On 12 January 2026, City University Qatar reached a proud new milestone as we officially launched our Alumni Programme with our first ever Alumni Reunion at the Lusail campus.

For many alumni, it was more than an event. It was a return to where their story began. Shared memories and friendly faces quickly turned the evening into a celebration of connection, belonging, and everything that comes after graduation. From the moment guests arrived for welcome and registration, the atmosphere felt warm and meaningful, with alumni reconnecting with classmates, meeting fellow graduates from different cohorts, and building new connections across the wider CUQ community.

The programme opened with welcome remarks, setting the tone for a night focused on community and future opportunities. A special highlight followed with the CUC to CUQ journey, reflecting on the University’s growth and the path that has shaped today’s City University Qatar. The evening then moved into what the future holds for alumni. A short taster session introduced the types of lifelong learning opportunities and alumni workshops planned, designed to support graduates beyond their degree and keep them engaged with new skills, ideas, and practical development.

Student Affairs also shared an introduction to the Alumni Programme, outlining its purpose and the value it aims to bring to graduates, both personally and professionally. Through the programme, alumni will receive invitations to alumni events and networking opportunities, access to university facilities and resources that support personal and professional development, and a platform to stay connected with CUQ, share achievements, and remain part of the university community long after graduation.

The reunion concluded with a celebratory moment and an extended networking session, giving alumni time to reconnect, exchange stories, and strengthen relationships with faculty and current students. It was a clear reminder that the CUQ experience does not end at graduation, it evolves into a lifelong connection.

This first Alumni Reunion marks the beginning of something long-term and exciting. City University Qatar will be hosting more alumni activities soon, as we continue to grow the alumni network and create meaningful ways for graduates to stay engaged, supported, and connected for years to come.
