Welcoming all our new alumni

1 July 2013

Stephen Dixon Get your graduation goody bagHard to believe it's THAT time of year again - where the hard work put in by so many undergraduates finally pays off. Summer graduation week is almost upon us - a day of real and deserved celebration.

It also means that our alumni family is growing again and our amazing network of contacts and friends increases.

There's lots on offer from your Alumni Association. Joining is free and automatic but we need to know who you are! If you're graduating this month, remember to call in at the alumni stand in Newton on your graduation day to hand in your details AND get a free goody bag to welcome you - and for those of you who'd like to say hello, I'll be handing those out myself all day Wednesday and Thursday so DO come and chat.

There are SO many benefits you can enjoy through the Alumni Association, including 50% discount on University library membership, associate membership of the Students' Union and the free alumni magazine Network.

Make sure you register online and once your full membership is activated, you can log in to view your details and update us online. If you do this before 31 August 2013 you will be entered into a free prize draw with a chance of winning £50 in Amazon gift vouchers (terms and conditions apply).

It's all really easy to do and please keep us up to date throughout the years - it's important for us to know where you are and what you're up to, but we hope it's important to YOU to stay part of the NTU family so that we can help you AND you can help others.

NTU has been such a big and significant part of your life that you will NEVER forget as you work through your career, so don't let it be just a part of your past but stay in touch to make it part of your present and future.

Congratulations on getting this far. Now let us help you enjoy a great and rewarding career.
