What does the global UoN alumni network do?

The network provides support to graduates returning to their home countries or re-locating after graduation. It offers opportunities to connect with fellow graduates at events and to keep updated via our e-news and alumni magazine. Please see the Australian network or global network pages for more details.

If you are in a location which does not appear to have a contact and would like to be a regional coordinator, please contact the Alumni Relations Office.

You can also engage with alumni colleagues across the globe through:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• YouTube

There are four graduate positions on the University Council, ensuring that our alumni retain a strong voice in the governance and strategic future of the University.

Graduations

Alumni Advisory Committee

The Alumni Advisory Committee (AAC) is a legal body established under provisions of the University of Newcastle Act. It is a group of graduates elected by their peers to represent the alumni community. The committee has an advisory role to the University Council on all matters relevant to alumni and partners with the Alumni Relations Office to support alumni development.
 
All graduates of the University of Newcastle can stand for election to this committee at the Annual General Meeting, held in October. If you would like more information about the AAC or to attend a meeting, please email Alumni-President@newcastle.edu.au
