Community

The Alumni and Friends Association of Leuphana University Lüneburg (AFL) is, above all, a continually growing network. Students, alumni, faculty, and staff, along with friends, supporters, and university partners, connect with one another and stay in touch with the university.

Through its commitment, the Association aims to foster exchange among its members and with the University. Only a strong network of relationships can drive knowledge transfer and create opportunities. Alongside the AFL's many events, where members can strengthen their connections, a range of online opportunities is also available for professional and personal networking.
