North America
"RWTH's community brings people together" in the land of endless possibilities
North America has attracted many RWTH alumni. They live spread out across the continent in the USA and Canada. It is increasingly possible to find RWTH alumni in the metropolitan areas of New York, Michigan, and California. A local association was formed in 2006 with about 150 members for alumni living there.
The RWTH Alumni America can look back on a very ambitious program since its foundation. Its goal is competent and casual networking while experiencing something together. Zoom events have been being held online since 2021.
