Office of Alumni and Philanthropy

The Office of Alumni and Philanthropy (OAP) facilitates the engagement of partners across business, industry, community organisations and local government to connect with the University through a range of key strategic alumni and philanthropic programs. With a key focus on these areas, OAP is committed to delivering the lead strategies of the Global Engagement and Partnerships Division.

With over 168,000 alumni in over 153 countries across the globe, the University alumni community includes graduates of the University, former students, academic and professional staff and past and present members of the University Council. OAP offers a number of platforms and programs to foster meaningful engagement between this global alumni community and the institution, its partners, industry, government, and a range of community organisations and stakeholders. It celebrates the success of the diverse achievers of our alumni network and connects them to communities across the world; making sure their stories are heard and recognising not only their achievements but the many ways in which they encapsulate the University’s defining values.

The Office of Alumni and Philanthropy also facilitates our alumni community, as well as industry and our partners, to contribute to the empowerment of others through philanthropic contributions. These contributions give opportunities for research and truly shape the futures of our students, giving them the best prospects for success whilst completing their studies at the University. Our donors reciprocate an investment in the importance of education and research to the world we are a part of and in turn enable the global leaders of tomorrow.
