A personalized project
RUI Alumni: friendships that last
The meaning and the value of experience during the years lived in Residence do not remain confined to university years.
RUI Alumni are privileged because they have shared important experiences of their training that give continuity and strengthen, with the maturity of adulthood, the lessons they received in Residence and have been implanted into their professional and personal lives.
The association brings former residents of all Fondazione Rui’s Colleges together. It promotes events, cultural meet ups, fundraising for scholarships, and offers residents networking opportunities with companies and the professional world.
Saint Josemaria’s dream
All Fondazione Rui residences draw inspiration from the teachings of St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, the personal prelature of the Catholic Church.
The spirit of Opus Dei manifests itself in the life at the Residence, promoting an atmosphere of coexistence with others based on respect and love for freedom, solidarity, optimism; activities revolving around spiritual formation and Christian doctrine are offered to students, who can freely choose whether to participate.
