The AIESEC Life Connection: November 2023

Published on November 22, 2023

Hello!

As we gear up for Thanksgiving tomorrow, I can't help but marvel at the incredible journey we've been on together. Seriously, it's been quite the ride! I'm taking a moment to count my blessings and let me tell you, they are plentiful. I can't thank each of you enough for being such an amazing support system.

This Thanksgiving, I'm finding comfort in the fact that AIESEC Life has been killing it this year. We've seen some serious growth, made waves in the community, and hit milestones that deserve a little happy dance. Sure, there might've been a stumble or two, but hey, that just made us stronger and more determined to ace it next time. Huge kudos to the AIESEC Life Team and Board of Directors for being the rocks behind all this success. You guys are absolute legends.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the 75th Celebration we had last month? Talk about a blast from the past and a whole lot of warm fuzzies! It's incredible to know we've got this crew of friends who are always there to share the laughs, walk down memory lane, and create some epic new moments together.

I'm beyond thankful for the endless support, the incredible camaraderie, and all the wins we've racked up together. Wishing you all a Thanksgiving that's cozy, filled with gratitude, and spent with those who make your heart sing.

Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Jennifer Farley, Executive Director

Cherished Shared Memories

We love seeing photos of our alumni! This photo is from a Regional Conference in Atlanta, hosted by Georgia State University in the mid-1970s. Pictured are Jim McGee (Alabama & Regional Director for AIESEC), Ray Roski, Joy Rogers (Georgia State LCP), and Paul Roberts (National VP). Not sure who the gentleman is at the top, do you?
