AlumNights is a student-led initiative that invites alums from the UWC Global Alum Network to connect and share peer-to-peer knowledge, experiences, and stories in an engaging setting.
These sessions are about meaningful conversations, building connections, and inspiring each other. If you are visiting our campus, don’t miss the opportunity to work on your #UWCPledge by hosting a session!
Our goal is simple yet powerful: 60 alums pledging $48/month for one year to create a new UWC scholarship. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous alum, every gift is matched 1:1, instantly doubling its impact. And with the Davis Foundation’s Dare to Dream program, this scholarship is doubled, opening doors for even more students.
Keeping your information up to date is important so we can contact you with important updates. As a UWC Costa Rica Alum, you have access to these services:

Due to our  Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy, all campus visitors must be accompanied by an educator at all times during their visit. Surprise visits or those coordinated on short notice will depend on staff availability. Campus visits typically last 1 to 1.5 hours.
