Alumni Relations at Uppsala University
Over 33,000 alumni in more than 150 countries around the world have chosen to join the Uppsala University Alumni Network. The members of this global network are former students having completed at least five credits at the University or are staff members at Uppsala University. Honorary doctors and visiting research fellows can also become members of the network.
Don’t forget that staff at Uppsala University are also welcome to join the Alumni Network.
The alumni team at the Development Office manages and coordinates the Alumni Network. The team’s main role is to support the parts of the organisation of greatest relevance to the alumni, i.e., departments, faculties and alumni associations.
We support alumni associations in the following ways:
- Guidance – We can provide assistance in getting started with alumni activities within your programme, department, etc.
- Contacts – We can help you to get in touch with alumni, for example when you are looking for mentors or visiting lecturers.
- Member Register – Add the association’s register of members to the Alumni Network and receive automatic address updates, e-mailing capability, etc.
- Calendar – We publish alumni events on our Events page
- Advertising – We provide advice about how to advertise events (e.g., reunions).
- Information material – We can provide some information material such as leaflets and magazines.
- Tool kits – We have produced templates and useful tips on how to organise an alumni event.
- Graduation kit – We have a kit that you can borrow to assist you in making the Alumni Network visible at graduation ceremonies and increase student awareness about the network before they leave the University.
- Templates and draft texts – We supply templates and draft texts for invitations and speeches that you can download and customise.
