Dear Alumnus
Can you help us provide you with
a better service?
As a member of QUT's alumni
you are an important member of the University's community. The QUT Alumni
Program keeps alumni informed about alumni events and opportunities, University
activities and other alumni, through QUT Links, the graduate magazine, monthly
e-newsletters and the website. Alumni are also provided with opportunities to
attend social and professional or personal development events with other graduates
and QUT staff, or become involved with the University and its activities.
Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions for adding variety to the Sydney Alumni Chapter events. We have carefully considered your feedback and suggestions, and have developed an events program that is designed to add that extra sparkle to your networking activity.
Please continue to send your suggestions through, and we will aim to incorporate any new ideas. Ideas might include professional development opportunities, special talks, dinners, or purely social occasions where Alumni would be able to network.
Your input into the development
of the Sydney group and its activities is important and we would therefore be
pleased if you could take a couple of minutes to and email alumni@qut.edu.au with your suggestions.
Thank you for taking the
time to assist the development of the QUT Sydney alumni group.
