3. Whether you participated in a master program, an open executive program or one
of its forerunners, you are an alumnus of the Antwerp Management School. And
you are not alone.
It was a modest beginning when management training in Antwerp started in 1959.
Since then there have been a lot of changes. 1965 was a first milestone when a
number of initiatives were grouped under IPO, the Institute for Post-University
Education. After the merger of Antwerp universities RUCA, UIA and Ufsia in 2000,
IPO became UAMS. Finally in 2010, celebrating its 50th anniversary, the school’s
name became Antwerp Management School. Today the Antwerp Management
School Alumni network expands over 23.624 men and women in more than 85
countries.
This constantly growing global community is your community. Discover in this
leaflet how you can benefit from the alumni association. After all, your unique
contributions and personal perspectives are bringing it to life.

4. The Antwerp Management School alumni executive committee consists of the
chairman and 12 members. These members represent the specific program they
participated in. These members, all graduates of a specific program, are the bridge
between the alumni, the program manager and the faculty of the program. They
are keeping their ear to the ground, are mapping the needs of the alumni and are
initiating alumni activities. Thanks to their efforts, the whole alumni network has
the opportunity to participate in numerous alumni events.
