The AIESEC Life Connection: May 2026

Published on May 14, 2026

Kicking Off Summer with AIESEC Life

Summer is around the corner and our alumni community is buzzing with connection and activity! From inspiring virtual conversations to local meetups and social gatherings across the country, AIESEC Life is bringing alumni and students together all season long. Read on to find out what’s currently happening across the AIESEC community this summer.

Upcoming Virtual Event

AIESEC Life Knowledge Exchange (ALKX) – Financial Wellness Check-Up with Michael B. Hansen

On Thursday, June 4, we’re hosting the next session of our Knowledge Exchange series! Join us for an interactive financial wellness webinar led by Certified Financial Planner and AIESEC alum, Michael B Hansen.

When did you last visit your doctor for a check-up? Your dentist? Now ask yourself - when did you last give your finances the same attention? Just as you wouldn't ignore your physical health, your financial health deserves the same proactive care - and this session will help you assess where you are and what to do next. RSVP
