ALUMNI TOUR
On the
Road Again!
A recap of the 2024 Overseas Alumni Tour and a look ahead at what's coming up
HKIS hit the road in January 2024 to reconnect with alumni in New York City, Boston, and, for the first time, London! It was great to meet so many alumni and see many familiar faces too. A highlight was witnessing old classmates reconnecting after many years and learning that they live in the same city!

It was evident at every stop on the tour that alumni were excited to connect with one another and reminisce about their time at HKIS. The Advancement Office was able to share news and updates with nearly 200 alumni. The reunions provided a great way to share the launch of the alumni portal, HKISAlumni.org, a valuable networking and engagement resource for our global alumni community.
NEW CHAPTER IN NYC!
We're excited to share that a new chapter will soon be established in New York City. Thanks to True Smith '15 and Sagar Anne '15 for all their effort to connect our NYC alumni over the past couple of years. We look forward to returning to help support their efforts in 2025.

Where Next?
The Alumni Tour heads to the West Coast this month! We look forward to connecting with our alumni and former faculty living in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver.
