Organised annually, the Hungarian LSE Alumni Association’s so-called pre-departure party is an opportunity for offer holder students to meet former members of the institution. In his welcoming speech Ambassador Knott congratulated future students on having been accepted to such a prestigious school and highlighted that 4 out of the top 10 universities in the world are in the United Kingdom. In her opening remarks Founding President of the Hungarian Alumni Association Éva Számely, amongst others, talked about the brief history of the Association as well as its future plans.

Ms Számely pointed out that the school was founded for the “betterment of society” according to the Founding Fathers.

Thus for those who have ever been related to LSE it is not only a great opportunity having been given to advance themselves to the best, but is also a great mission to live up to throughout one’s life.
