A professor of nationalism studies at CEU and a highly accomplished scholar of modern European history, Jewish studies and religious studies, Maria Kovacs died on Sunday, July 19.

Twenty years after the last study into Hungarian Jewry, Andras Kovacs, professor in the Nationalism Studies Program and director of Jewish Studies at CEU, led a research project to learn about how Jewish identity and worldviews have changed since the late '90s. Kovacs co-edited the resulting volume, entitled Jews and Jewry in Hungary in 2017: Results of Sociological Research with Ildiko Barna, associate professor of sociology at Eotvos Lorand University, published in June 2018. 

The Alumni Reunion Weekend was organized at CEU on May 3-5. It gathered Alumni Chapter Leaders from all over the world to discuss alumni volunteering activities. For many of the alumni it was also a chance to get together with their friends from different parts of the world, united by their alma mater. There was an enthusiastic and energetic feeling throughout the event.
