Throughout history lighthouses have been: beacons of civilization, architectural icons, symbols of human presence and safety, and navigational guides. Within our Erasmian community, alumni stand as our lighthouses, serving as navigational guides for the younger generation. Tune in monthly for inspirational talks with our alumni community sharing their journey of discovering their “why”, what motivates them and how they got to where they are today.
