Alumni Happy Hour in Turku

October 6, 2023

The Association is organizing an Alumni Happy Hour event in conjunction with the American Voices Seminar in Turku for the alumni and current U.S. grantees on October 6. at 20.00. You are warmly invited to join us at the Brewery Restaurant Koulu (Eerikinkatu 18, 20100 Turku) on Friday evening! Koulu is an old school at the center of Turku that has been transformed into one of Finland’s largest brewery restaurants. They serve both food and a large selection of beverages brewed right on the premises.
We have reserved us a table at the library room at Koulu but there is no registration for this event. You are welcome to come by yourself, with a significant other, or a friend! We will have a sign ”ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association” with us, so you can find us easily. Food and drinks are at everyone’s own expense.

Looking forward to seeing you in Turku!
