As part of the traditional Alumni Day on November 8th, Vytautas Magnus University is organizing a hybrid discussion titled “Liberal Arts: Navigating Careers, Personal Growth, and the AI Era.” This discussion aims to unite our international alumni and current students to explore the relevance of a liberal arts education, employability, personal growth, and the impact of AI on today’s job market.
The hybrid discussion will take place on Friday, November 8, from 16:00 to 17:30, both online via Microsoft Teams and onsite at VMU Senate Hall, S. Daukanto g. 28, Kaunas. The event will be conducted in English. Registration is required.
For current students, this is a fantastic chance to meet alumni working in various fields in Lithuania and around the world, network, ask questions, and engage in discussions to gain insights about today’s job market and navigating their careers.
For the professors and supervisors, this is an opportunity to learn more about their students’ growth over the years. It could also be a way to reconnect and ensure collaboration for the future.

„I am 24 years old, and I come from Anyang, a city in Henan province in central China. My native language is Chinese, but I also speak English. I come from a family deeply involved in music — my father is a piano tuner, and my mother is a music manager and art marketing director. I began learning the violin and piano at the age of 4, and I started professional piano training at the age of 9. My master’s thesis focused on the career of a musician“.
