The intellectual curiosity sparked at DIS doesn’t stop once you pack your bags and return home. Continued learning opportunities are therefore a key feature of the DIS Alumni Community.
Featuring stellar DIS faculty, virtual DIS Talks and in-person Homecoming tours in Copenhagen (and in the future Stockholm) not only give you new perspectives on some of the grand challenges of our time but also rekindle the nostalgia of your study abroad experience in Scandinavia, whether that was five, ten or fifty years ago.
Living in Copenhagen made me aware of how unconsidered my worldview was, and countless experiences both in and out of the classroom invited me to interrogate, and broaden that perspective.
Jon Mayfield, DIS student in 2006-2007
Homecoming Tours
Come back to your Scandinavian home to (re)discover the magic of Copenhagen while connecting with DIS friends and fellow alumni on a DIS Homecoming Tour, which are designed to rekindle your love of learning and give you opportunities to make new friends as you learn (again) from carefully curated activities guided by expert DIS faculty.
Whether you’re interested in Danish design, the history of the Vikings or the Danish royal family, love eating Nordic food, or are curious about the Danish model of social trust or the LGBTQ+ movement – you’re sure to have fun!
Homecoming Tours are four days (Monday – Thursday), offering a good balance of organized activities and time to explore on your own.
Homecoming Tours are open to DIS Alumni and their family & friends.

Virtual DIS Talks
DIS Talks, led by DIS faculty, are free virtual events offered throughout the year that aim to not only connect you with your global alumni community but also give you opportunities to explore and discuss the challenging topics of our time.
Whether it’s exploring different aspects of current geo-political challenges, Nordic parenting trends, climate change strategies, Scandinavian equality, engineering projects that will shape our collective futures, or Scandinavian design philosophies – DIS Talks aim to give you a deeper understanding of the world around us today. Re-enter the virtual classroom with us, whether you’re already passionate about the topic or simply interested in learning more.
Join us at the next DIS Talk, for an hour of engaging and inspiring perspectives!
