Over half a century, New York University has offered an exceptional welcome to students coming from all parts of the world, putting a milestone in their personal and professional life. Without resting, NYU succeeded in maintaining contacts with its alumni, allowing birth of a global university, distinguished scholars from around the world beeing invited each year to teach at NYU.

Why not, as former students, take a more active part in facilitating contacts of NYU alumni in Switzerland and Liechtenstein on one hand, and creating opportunities for new generations to discover NYU on the other hand?

These were the thoughts of a few alumni, in June 1999, decided to create NYU.ch - the NYU Alumni Club in Switzerland & Liechtenstein.
