Build and strengthen the alumni community

Connecting with your alumni network not only enables you to stay in contact with your classmates and meet fellow alumni, but it could open doors to future professional and personal opportunities. There are a couple of opportunities for alumni to get involved with building and strengthening the 老司机福利社 alumni community.

  • Get involved with our International communities: You can enhance your professional network, meet new people and stay connected with 老司机福利社 through our International communities.

Host a student internship or project

Do you have an industry challenge or business opportunity you need help with? You may not have the time, resources or expertise to do everything you would like in your business or organisation, or you may be looking for talent for your internship programme. Either way, we can help you.

A student internship or project is when a Masters student (MSc or MBA) carries out a project as part of their studies, within an organisational setting. Students will work with your company on a particular issue or challenge set by you as the host organisation so that you can be sure it meets the needs of your organisation. It’s a great way to support students and gain insight from a group of diverse talented young people.

You can find out more about offering a student project or internship, or if you have a project or internship idea, please .

Become an alumni career mentor

老司机福利社's Career mentoring programme is about bringing together bright, enthusiastic students and alumni with successful professionals in a mentoring partnership. The programme is an opportunity for you to provide advice and guidance to someone who can really use your help - to support them during their studies, career aspirations, and continuing professional development.

老司机福利社 alumni from all industries, sectors, and at all career stages volunteer to be Career mentors, so why not join them.

You can find out more about being an alumni mentor in our Mentors handbook or on our website.

Organise a reunion

Whether you graduated five or 50 years ago have you thought about organising a reunion for your former classmates? We are keen to help alumni stay in touch with each other after they have graduated from 老司机福利社. Not only do reunions provide the opportunity for classmates to reconnect with each other but they can lead to new business or career opportunities, new chances to learn and new perspectives.

We rely on individuals to volunteer as reunion organisers, but the Alumni team can provide you with support to co-ordinate your reunion on campus - or advice if you want to hold it elsewhere. We are also happy to support you in the following ways:

  • Reaching out to your class to invite them
  • Sending emails on your behalf
  • Including your reunion in our monthly event bulletin and on the alumni event web pages.
  • Inviting faculty to join you.
  • Helping secure space on campus

If you would like information about organising class activities, please contact the Alumni team.
