How you can get involved

• Please do let the Alumni Engagement team know about any engagement you are having with alumni which support your academic/ professional services activity by emailing alumni@qmul.ac.uk. We need to track such activity to ensure we are making the most of alumni time and effort, and recognising and rewarding their support.
• Attend our events to speak with alumni from your school / department
• Email n.brownfield@qmul.ac.uk to feature on our social media (inc. sharing articles, opinion pieces, commenting on current events)
• Contribute to the Queen Mary Alumni Opportunities and News emails (inc. taking part in interviews, sharing your research etc.)*
• If you require alumni from a specific sector or with particular experience to support your work, we can help you identify suitable volunteers if you email alumni@qmul.ac.uk. We already work very closely with colleagues in Careers and Enterprise on a number of employability initiatives.
• Keep us informed of the most up-to-date contact details of alumni with whom you are in contact with by emailing alumni@qmul.ac.uk. Or encourage any alumni you are in contact with to fill our 'update your details' form.
