R4NA 2026: Back Together Again

A day of reconnection, fresh perspectives and shared purpose.

On Saturday 14 March, Reunion for New Alumni (R4NA) 2026 welcomed more than 400 alumni from the Classes of 2022–2025 back to campus, bringing them together to refresh their thinking and build momentum for the next stage of their journey. 

Set against a backdrop of spring sunshine, the theme Back Together Again captured the spirit of the day, as alumni caught up with classmates, made new connections and immersed themselves once again in campus life. 

A highlight of the day was the presentation of the inaugural Awards for New Alumni, recognising alumni who have made a meaningful contribution to the LBS community. This year’s recipients were: 

  • Atif Siddiqui SLN2024, Alumni Connector Award 
  • Liza Faber MBA2024, Rising Star Award 
  • Edward ‘Ted’ Higase SLN2022, Forever Forward Award 
  • Carmen Schliesser MiM2024, Alumni Council Choice Award 

Among those recognised, the Forever Forward Award celebrates alumni whose philanthropy helps advance the School’s Forever Forward campaign, which focuses on expanding access, innovation and impact for generations to come. Edward ‘Ted’ Higase’s continued engagement with the School reflects the wider impact of the alumni community. Earlier this year, he founded the SKYY Development Scholarship through a landmark gift to support future students. Read more about the story behind the gift here.
