Asian Alumni Committee
Who we are
This network of alumni leaders in Asia enhances the connection, regional collaboration and the BU spirit through meaningful regional programs and dialogue.
Boston University Asian Alumni Committee consists of alumni leadership representatives from the Asia region (alphabetic order) – China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Our member regions host an annual all-alumni gathering in form of business forum or festival. Join the conversation on Facebook and BU Connects.
Our history
Our journey, our footsteps…
The inaugural Asian Alumni Festival was conceived by the BU Asian Alumni Committee and took place in Seoul, Korea in 2006. The success of this event prompted the committee to elevate engagement by organizing the inaugural 1st Asian Alumni Business Forum & 2nd Asian Alumni Festival in Hong Kong the following year.
This initiative has since evolved into an annual tradition, with alternating forums and festivals held in diverse Asian countries. This rotation of venues has not only enriched the cultural tapestry of these gatherings but has also fostered a dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences.
