Alumni Networks
Groups of University of Adelaide alumni gather around the world in networks. Networks play an active role in the rich community life of the University.
What are networks?
The Development and Alumni network program supports the University of
Adelaide alumni and friends of the University in continuing their connection and
interaction with each other and with the University community through a variety
of activities. This leads to personal and professional development, adds value
to the communities we live in, and increases the understanding and support of
the university, its needs and its future.
Alumni network participants provide valuable feedback to the University on how to serve alumni, what type of information alumni wish to receive, what connections they wish to make, and how they wish to participate in University life. This, in turn, helps the University.
Where are Alumni networks located?
We have 17 alumni networks - 11 based in Adelaide, one in Sydney, one in Melbourne and one
in each of the following overseas locations; Kuala Lumpur, Sarawak, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Thailand, the United States and the United Kingdom. Where there is a group of alumni who desire
to connect because of their association with the University, or because of a shared
cause, affiliation, career, or particular interest, a network can be developed.
What events or activities do networks undertake?
- Reception/Dinner/Luncheon with speakers (often from the University of Adelaide)
