The 7th AAANA Convention was a memorable and significant celebration of friendship, community, and the shared Ateneo spirit. Hosted by the Ateneans of Las Vegas (AOLV), the event took place from March 27-29, 2025, at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Alumni from various Ateneo institutions across North America gathered to reconnect, establish new relationships, and demonstrate their ongoing support for their respective alma maters.
The convention was attended by Fr. Guillrey Anthony “Ernald” M. Andal, SJ, President of Ateneo de Zamboanga University (AdZU). Our alumni had the valuable opportunity to hear from Fr. Ernald regarding the university’s progress and vision, thereby strengthening the bonds between AdZU and its alumni community.
The event was not merely an occasion for reminiscing, it was a vital opportunity for building a stronger and more united Ateneo community. Attendees relished heartfelt reunions, engaging discussions, and the sharing of cherished memories. The convention facilitated the creation of new connections and reaffirmed the collective mission of the Ateneo family to continue supporting education, development, and service to the community.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all who contributed to the success of the 7th AAANA Convention. We eagerly anticipate future celebrations, alumni gatherings, and continued moments of connection within the Ateneo network.
