AIESEC Life Connection - June 2026

Published on June 17, 2026

Summer has arrived, bringing plenty of opportunities to connect and engage across the AIESEC Life community from alumni gatherings and hub events to virtual learning sessions.

Virtual or in person, we invite you to jump in, reconnect with fellow AIESECers, expand your network, and continue the journey that began with AIESEC. We hope you'll find inspiration, meaningful connections, and a few new adventures in the opportunities ahead. 

I’m also excited to share reflections from our two Spring JoAnn Boland Scholarship recipients. I hope you’ll enjoy reading about their experiences, insights, and takeaways from AMCO in Panama.

Read on, enjoy and we hope to see you this summer!

Together in purpose and community,
Renée Kessinger
Executive Director, AIESEC Life

JoAnn Boland International Scholarship Winners

This Spring, two AIESECers attend the Americas Conference (AMCO) in Panama with a grant from the JoAnn Boland International Scholarship Fund. Many of us recall how an international conference inspired us and impacted our lives. Ria and Milena are no exception. Read about their AMCO experiences, lessons learned and how they can bring that experience back to their LC’s.
