Global Celebrations
Following the huge success of the alumni dinner in
London, the celebrations continue in San Francisco and Beijing in February and
September 2016 respectively and in Singapore in January 2017. If you have
the opportunity to join one of these get-togethers, it’s a wonderful way to keep
in touch with your alma mater, to make new friends within the fast-expanding
alumni network and to learn from professors at the seminar staged prior to each
dinner. For those of you in the Bay Area,
registration for the San Francisco event on
February 13 is now open – we look forward
to welcoming you to this special occasion!
Engage with Successful Entrepreneurs!
One
of the University’s key goals is to develop an
entrepreneurial culture both on and off campus. The
Alumni Entrepreneur Panel Series is a “must attend”
event – so if you are an aspiring entrepreneur, join us
to pick the brains of seasoned alumni entrepreneurs
and learn from their valuable experiences!
