Where We’ve Gone and What We’ve Done–FPU Alumni and Friends Tours, 2017–2024

January 30, 2025

By Stephen Varvis

As of the end of 2024, alumni and friends of FPU have taken seven trips to Europe.

More are already being planned for 2025 (Scandinavia in June), 2026 (Switzerland to be announced soon) and 2027 (stay tuned).

To read about where we’ve been, what we’ve seen, and a bit about why and how, check out the article commissioned by our Alumni department and posted in the alumni blog page.

And thank you to those who were interviewed for the article and contributed their thoughts and experiences.

I hope you can join us on one of the upcoming tours soon!

You can always find out about upcoming trips on the Alumni and Friends Tours page, or you can contact me directly at steve.varvis@fresno.edu or call (559) 906-5545.
