Over 230 people joined the dinner, including 100+ alumni, 60+ current students, 40+ guests & stakeholders, and 30+ faculty and staff members. The Dinner not only celebrated EVMT's significant milestones and collective achievements, but also a heartwarming occasion that brought together the big EVMT family after a long time apart due to the pandemic.
