The Alumni Relations team would like to wish you well over the festive season and thank you for staying connected with your University during 2018.

The office will be closed from 5.00pm on Friday 21 December 2018 and re-open at 9.00am on Monday 7 January 2019.

Thank you to alumni who responded to our recent survey. The key purpose was to find out what it is that alumni are currently engaging with at the University and what they are most interested in. Your contributions will help shape our future program.

Congratulations to the winners of the prize draw:
