Meaningful alumni engagement and relations at UWCRCN have been a focal point. Alumni are an integral part of UWC’s mission as they are our peacebuilders and creators of a sustainable future globally. Our college and its alumni are mutually committed to engaging and adding value to achieve desired outcomes. Alumni engagement is carried out predominantly with the support of year representatives of each graduating class. The class of 2022 is about to graduate and transition into alumni of UWCRCN. The class will be led by their year representatives, Victoria Jensen (Denmark) and Pedro Pontes García (Spain).
“I believe that RCN is more than just the two years we lived in the Flekke bubble. It’s an international community for life. Maybe we wouldn’t see each other every day, but the strong community, experiences, and the fjord keeps us together. As a year group representative, I’ll work on the community we as RCN alumni shape together away from the Flekke bubble.”

“UWC is not just an education system. UWC is a mission, it’s a project that brings together people from all over the world, from all backgrounds, and makes them a force for change. But change does not happen at UWC colleges; it happens once we are launched into the outside world. As we, RCN 22’, become alumni, we have just begun to understand the complexity of making change, which is why our alumni connections will become vital in supporting each other’s projects, and in remembering what our fjord gave us: an opportunity to grow. Let this not be the end, but a new beginning.”
