First impressions from the GJU Alumni Ambassador Meeting:
“It was really nice meeting up with fellow GJUers who have pushed through and stayed in Germany through thick and thin.”
“This weekend was insane. We actually had so much fun & took home many learnings from all the amazing people you’ve invited!”
We received these and many more messages following the 9th GJU Alumni Ambassador Meeting, held from 18–20 September 2026 in Kassel.
For a whole weekend, the Universität Kassel campus served as a meeting place for up to 80 alumni of the German Jordanian University from all over Germany.
The conference was about more than just the programme: it was about connecting, exchanging ideas and building a supportive network.
Looking back, it was a vibrant, action-packed weekend: professional insights that sparked further reflection, encounters that went beyond exchanging business cards, and many moments confirming that this network really does provide support, especially when everyday life takes over again.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the speakers, volunteers and guests: for their lasting contributions, the open discussions and the many hands and minds that made this gathering possible in the first place. Special thanks go to the University of Kassel, which, as our host, provided us with its premises, infrastructure and hospitality. We would particularly like to thank Sarah Guttenhöfer from the University of Kassel’s International Office, without whose initiative and active support this event could not have taken place.
At the opening ceremony, Prof. Dr Ute Clement (President of the University of Kassel), Prof. Dr Ala'aldeen Al-Halhouli (President of the German Jordanian University) and Boris Mijatovic (Member of the German Bundestag) shared some inspiring words with us.
Last but not least, we’d like to thank our sponsors. Without their support, moments of connection like these and the reach of this network in its current form would be unthinkable.
