Coming Home to Where It All Began
The Amity University Alumni Meet 2025 – North America was a heartwarming and highly engaging event held in hybrid mode at FDU Silberman College of Business, New Jersey, offering a wonderful opportunity for 30+ alumni to reconnect with their alma mater, peers, and mentors.

The session commenced with a gracious and heartfelt welcome by Ms. Savita Arora, Vice President – Strategic and U.S. Operations. She extended her deep appreciation to the alumni for their unwavering connection with Amity University and provided an insightful overview of the institution’s ever-expanding global footprint.
