The Alumni Events Team are happy to help you organise online or face-to-face events to reconnect with friends and classmates or meet other alumni in your area.
We have designed resources and guidance to support you when planning to host your own event.
How we can support you

You can also check the list of upcoming reunions already being planned by our alumni for classmates, year groups, friends, societies and sports teams. Make sure to let the Events Team know if you are running a reunion you would like to promote.
