Homecoming Alumni Event
Join Us to Celebrate Fulbright Finland Alumni!
Restaurant Sipuli, Helsinki at 16:30-19:00
We are delighted to invite you to an evening of great food, engaging conversation, and celebration as we raise a toast to our Finnish and U.S. alumni, the continued success of Finnish–U.S. exchanges, and the people who make the Fulbright Finland community thrive.
This special gathering offers a chance to reconnect with old friends, build new connections and expand your network in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and celebrate the shared experiences that unite our alumni network.
The atmosphere will be informal, with plenty of time to mingle and catch up with both familiar and new faces. Smart casual attire is a good fit for the evening.

The evening will be a cocktail‑style event, with a buffet, coffee and dessert, as well as a welcome drink. In addition, there is a bar open throughout the event, with drinks available for purchase at your own cost.
Every year, our U.S. alumni from across the Atlantic return to Finland, to their “second home.” We are thrilled to welcome them to the Homecoming together with current U.S. grantees here in Finland, and our Finnish alumni from across our country. This year also marks several milestones, making it a special moment to get together: the 80th anniversary of the global Fulbright Program, the 50th anniversary of the Finland–America Educational Trust Fund, and 50 years of the Fulbright Bicentennial Chair in North American Studies at the University of Helsinki.
