It's Almost Halftime!

AIESEC Life is committed to assisting AIESEC US with conference funding this fall, and we need your help! Please join us in making this fall a memorable Homecoming season for current AIESECers.

Yes, they can attend football games and tailgates on campus, but remember what it was like to attend an in-person AIESEC conference? Did you know that this will be the first, in-person all member conference since before the pandemic? The upcoming fall conference in Washington DC is sure to be an amazing experience for them, and a great way to build and retain membership. Let's help make it happen for as many AIESECers as possible.

 AIESEC US - An Update

AIESEC US MCVP Growth Abby Lemma and members of AIESEC Ohio University LC and alumni. All smiles at a recent visit to AIESEC Ohio University. Training also involves fun and maybe a hike...LC members from Colorado enjoy a day out.

Last month, we promised more info on AIESEC US and what they are up to this year.

Besides planning for their in-person conference October 14-16 in Washington DC, the MC has been busy traveling and visiting LCs across the country.

Visits thus far have included Colorado, Ohio, Eau Claire and Atlanta with more on the schedule! These visits are intended to train the local committees on innovative marketing tactics, stable organization practices, and how to engage & excite their membership to send people abroad!

Abby Lemma (MCVP Growth) is excited about the success they've seen so far in coaching visits. "Getting back in person with our LCs has brought back a fire within our LCs," said Abby. "Our people are ready to bring in a strong and full membership for AIESEC US, and we are so grateful for the alumni support and interaction during these visits!"

These visits are extremely beneficial and can be done more frequently with help from alumni like you. If you are interested in assisting their efforts with monetary and in-kind donations, speaking/training opportunities at the LC, or hosting a local reception with students and alumni, please reach out to Jennifer Farley.

Do you live in the DC Area?

Please join us for an ALUMnite on Friday, October 14 at 6:30 pm at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Tyson's Corner.

AIESEC US will be in town for their fall conference. What a perfect time to gather alumni together! Connect with old friends, meet some new ones and have dinner with current AIESECers!

Maui Study Tour

February 17-21, 2023 

Early Bird Spots Available!

Aloha to our AIESEC Life "Ohana" (Hawaiian for "family")!

Join us February 17-21, 2023 as AIESEC Life hosts its third tropical adventure! This Study Tour is to Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, also known as "The Valley Isle. "It's beloved for world-famous beaches, farm-to-table cuisine, incredible sea life and snorkeling, magnificent views of the Haleakala volcano, diverse Hawaiian folklore and so much more.

The month of February is also peak whale season! Since Maui offers the best viewing of all the islands, we’ll have plenty of chances to spot whales on our boat trip, and even hear them underwater!

Highlights of our trip will include:

  • 5 days/4 nights at either Royal Lahaina Resort (ocean views) or Kaanapali Ocean Inn (budget standard rooms), both on the same beachfront property with shared pool, restaurants, and amenities
  • Whale watching from our hotel grounds
  • Swimming and snorkeling from our hotel’s beachfront on one of Maui's best stretches of sand and turquoise waters, with nearby reefs and turtles
  • Hiking & sunset from Haleakala volcano
  • Boat excursion
  • Traditional Hawaiian-style BBQ & cultural activities

And much more including the opportunity to Malama (give back) with a Hawaiian-inspired volunteer activity.
