Brand new alumni network for recent graduates launching in 2020

Are you a recent graduate who’s keen to make a mark on the alumni community? Are you a born networker who is a natural at social media or a whiz at events? We need you!

We’re launching a brand new alumni community dedicated to those who have graduated in the last 10 years.  And we’re excited to announce exclusive opportunities for alumni to help shape the trajectory of this group. We’re on the hunt for volunteers who can support:

• Building our new alumni community online in London and abroad
• Connecting recent graduates with alumni services and existing alumni programming

About the roles

Recent Graduate Volunteer Lead

This role will be a leader from the recent graduate community, who is willing to work collaboratively with the UCL Alumni Relations team in support of the objectives of the network. Although the programme is still in development, it is expected to include some social activities (pub trips, walking tours or museum visits) as well as a strong link to the existing UCL Connect programme.

Key responsibilities include:

• Be the lead individual for advising and planning on new activities for recent graduates. The first phase will likely be focussed in London, but will include digital elements to bring in our global alumni community. 
• Recruit and be a key contact for other volunteers who will also support the Recent Graduate network
