Monash University Alumni Relations: Special Bulletin

How do you feel about Monash? What are the needs of Monash alumni?

Through the research, you have identified the main benefits for you of a coordinated alumni relations program:

• Access to social and business-related networks in Australia and around the world
• The potential to connect or reconnect with fellow graduates and staff
• Recognition, promotion and utilisation of alumni skills, experience and knowledge
• Personal and professional development through lifelong learning opportunities, postgraduate study, student engagement and employment
• Opportunities to celebrate and support Monash as it works to become one of the world’s leading research-focused, international universities
• Opportunities to receive benefits, discounts and other privileges

Monash alumni told us:

• 55% of alumni feel alumni services are important
• 63% of alumni wish to be more actively involved in alumni activities
• 78% of alumni are keen to have greater interaction with Monash

What have we done?

• Established the Monash Alumni Advisory Group to inform Monash about alumni views and provide feedback and advice about alumni programs
• Made a strong commitment to deliver a program that gives alumni opportunities to continue to learn, to reconnect with their peers, to network and to recognise and celebrate alumni and Monash successes

Working together, we will:

• Continue to identify ways for alumni and the University to engage
• Review communication strategies to ensure opportunities are conveyed to you in a timely and relevant way
• Explore ways to ensure that alumni contact details are kept up-to-date to ensure you can be directly informed, invited, welcomed and applauded
