AIESEC Alumni First Thursday is a global program where AIESEC alumni network and socialize on the first Thursday of each month in cities around the world. The program was started during a brainstorming session to help more alumni regularly connect in their local areas. Alumni already meet monthly in some cities, and this program aims to expand those local gatherings into a coordinated worldwide initiative. Participants are encouraged to check the program's Facebook page for upcoming events in their city and to help organize a First Thursday if none is scheduled yet. The gatherings provide an opportunity for the over 1 million strong AIESEC alumni network to learn from each other and create impact on a monthly basis around the globe.
