Membership Alumni Association AIG

AIG-Engage, the association for young engineers, graduated from our faculty, kindly invites you to become a member. Engage offers young engineers a varied range of activities such as sports, interesting lectures, culture and parties. All this is possible because Engage acts as an umbrella organization: it bundles its own activities, AIG events and activities of all student associations associated with our faculty (e.g. VTK, Hermes, CenEka, MaChT, PKarus, Poutrix and BEAM) in one well-organized package. This way you can keep in touch with your classmates. Moreover, via Engage you are also a member of Alumni UGent, so you can continue to enjoy the student restaurants and the GUSB sport facilities at a reduced rate, and you will receive the UGent magazine delivered to your home. More information and registration via this link.
