In this episode of Alumless World, hosts Ryan Catherwood and Nicole Kempton welcome Fadi Ghosn and Loreen Bahour from RCSI Medical University of Bahrain to explore the power of alumni ambassador programs to strengthen alumni engagement across borders. Fadi, the Head of Recognition, Careers, and Alumni, and Loreen, the Alumni Relations Team Lead, share their experiences developing and expanding RCSI Bahrain’s Alumni Ambassador Programme, which fosters connections among graduates in Bahrain, the UK, the USA, Kuwait, and Canada.

The discussion highlights the selection process for alumni ambassadors and growth, the challenges of engaging alumni across multiple countries, and the strategies RCSI Bahrain uses to maintain a strong sense of community among graduates living abroad.
