30th Anniversary Webster Ball

Webster Vienna is turning 30 - Celebrate with us!

30 years ago, Webster University began its journey in Austria. Since 1981, Webster Vienna has supported its mission to ensure high quality learning experiences that foster intercultural understanding and transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence. To celebrate this milestone for Webster in Austria, the Webster Vienna Alumni Association in cooperation with the Webster Vienna Student Council is organizing a Viennese Summer Ball on Saturday, May 14 in the beautiful Palais Auersperg in Vienna’s city center.

This 30th Graduation Night will be a reunion for the whole Webster community. Webster students, alumni, faculty, staff, donors, family, and friends of Webster Vienna will enjoy a night full of dancing, joy, and laughter. Highlights of the evening will be the traditional ball opening, a fashion show by designer and Webster alum Aleksandar Zabunovic, BA '08, a Lancôme make-up corner and a tombola. The funds raised through the tombola will be donated to the Austrian charity kleine herzen. Wolfgang Steubl's Vienna Ball Ensemble and Austria Swingtett will play in the main ballroom “Rosenkavaliersaal” and DJ EL Star in the “Wintergarten”. The dress code is long ball gown and black tie or traditional dress.

Every ball guest will receive a free welcome drink at the entrance and every lady an exclusive Lancôme ball gift.
