Read this month about our alumni in the news, new research findings, and the many networking and career-oriented activities happening around the globe.

In an interesting new initiative, all former student theatre participants are invited to reconnect and get together for the first time in many years. Those in creative industries may be interested in a star-studded roundtable activity aimed to assist career development. Also, don't forget to check the new benefits on offer!

The Vice-Chancellor's new blog creates an exciting avenue for you to communicate directly with the University. Find out more below.
