The IUT of La Réunion marked an important moment in its history by officially renaming Amphitheater 150 to the Alex How-Choong Amphitheater. The ceremony took place on Thursday, September 4 at 12 p.m., in the presence of Teddy CADERBY, Vice-President of the Board of Directors in charge of General Affairs, Laurent Brault, Deputy Rector, and Jean-Bernard Maratchia, Regional Councilor, and continued with a time of conviviality and discussion.
This decision reflects the IUT's desire to pay tribute to Alex How-Choong, President of the IUT Council since its creation and a key figure in the socio-economic world of Réunion. Through his unwavering commitment, his vision, and his ability to unite, he has contributed to making the IUT a major player in higher education on the island.
“By naming Amphitheater 150 after Alex How-Choong, we wish to officially recognize the importance of his commitment and the value of his contribution to the IUT of La Réunion. This choice reflects our desire to highlight figures who embody our missions and ambitions.” – Olivier Marc, Director of the IUT
Deeply moved by this tribute, Alex How-Choong said:
"It's a huge honor to see my name associated with such a symbolic place in university life. For me, the IUT of Réunion represents a collective adventure, made of work, trust, and hope for the younger generations. I share this recognition with all those who have worked every day for the success of students for 30 years."
With its 150 seats, the amphitheater is a central place of academic and cultural life, now associated with a name full of meaning and inspiration.
