Alumni Success Stories

“I was always inspired by a quote by Prof. Neil German, who used to say that you can’t dream big, unless you possess the necessary experience. Having this motto in mind, albeit the many successes I have accomplished so far, I was also able to make one of my dreams come to reality - the opening of the American High School Skopje - and this is just the beginning of a new chapter.”

“My time at Webster was instrumental in preparing the foundation that I needed to successfully integrate myself into the family business and help take it to the next level. The company has since grown over 10 fold in the last 25 years. I was fortunate from 1991-1993 to witness the new Webster campus, and to have been in such a safe and secure environment.”

“My modest success is in large part thanks to the all-encompassing experience at the Webster campus and the faculty who helped me along the way. I have fond memories of the wonderful opportunities which I had a chance to take part in.”

“Webster Geneva Campus is a melting pot of students from over 150 nations with teachers from all over the world. Meeting and learning from these people was indeed one of the best foundations for my future career. Everything about my experience was perfect –the beautiful pristine Geneva, the school, what I learnt, my teachers and my great friends whom I am still in touch with. It was truly magical!"

“The Webster University Campus in Geneva, is a unique place where you can concentrate on your studies and self-perfection. You are not overloaded with unnecessary academic work, and you can allocate all your spare time to practical studies. I remember passing many hours in our library, reading many great books on technology to complement my daily studies.”

“I particularly enjoyed the diversity and inclusion of Webster. The small classes and attention to each student are empowering. Obtaining a BA at Webster gave me the confidence to go further in academia and launch a new career. Webster set me on my current path as a life-long learner..”
