Our new website is here as we celebrate our 10th anniversary!

January 15, 2018

Our new website is finally here and includes a lot of new features, some of which exclusive to our alumni.

We took particular care to design a website that is easy to navigate. The top menu will lead you to every corner of our website. In the About section you will find information on the association, the School and how to get involved in our activities. The Events section is always up-to-date with our latest activities, but also has a past events section.

Our Careers section is definitely the most important new feature. In an effort to offer to our members services that fit both their intellectual and their professional needs, we have expanded our career-oriented activities. For this purpose we have introduced the role of the Careers Officer, a designated role in our board. We have also given the opportunities to submit directly career opportunities to us. This will help us introduce our alumni to interesting career opportunities. So, if you think that this feature could interest your company, help us spread the word! In the dedicated section you will also find more information on the career support the LSE offers to alumni up to five years after their graduation. We will of course continue organising our monthly networking drinks with the aim to strengthen and improve them over time. We will also continue to be present at various fairs and events, such as the annual LSE careers fair. Do you have an idea for a careers event? Don’t hesitate to contact us.

To strengthen our network, we have also created the Alumni Directory which features registered users who are also LSE alumni. We have taken particular care to ensure that the alumni status of all entries has been verified with the School and that the sensitive data of our members are protected. If you decide to be part of the directory, only your name, current employer, position and LinkedIn account (if available) will be visible.

Another new feature is our Blog. Those already receiving our newsletter have noticed that we have tried to strengthen our connection to the school and the wider alumni community through our LSE Alumni Community Corner. Our Belgian community is welcome to send us news that we can feature. In an effort to offer you even more original and interesting content, we are introducing our blog. This section will feature reports from events, interviews with academics and articles that our members are invited to send to us.

The first time you visit our website, it is best to register. You can set up your account through our easy, quick and secure registration process. Registering with the association offers many benefits, as you can sign up with one click to our events, and if you are a paying member and an alumnus, have exclusive access to our Alumni Directory and vacancies board. Though your account page you can also manage your settings, such as your Alumni Directory visibility and your subscription to our newsletter.

Our new website is the product of effort, love and dedication. Its launch is coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the LSE Alumni Association Belgium. It is thanks to the support of our members that we have achieved this milestone and we hope that this website becomes part of your LSE AAB experience. Should you have any ideas or would like to share your thoughts on our new website, don’t hesitate to send us an email or use the new contact form!
