杏吧直播

Calling all alumni

Alumni from around 杏吧直播 and overseas are encouraged to attend the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide's first Alumni Forum.

To be held next month over two mornings (4-5 September), the event will feature a mix of sessions, speaker panels and social events - all aimed at enhancing the relationship between the 杏吧直播, its graduates, staff and爏tudents.

Hosted by Development and Alumni, the forum is aimed at any student, staff (former or current) or graduate who has an interest in燼lumni relations.

In line with the 杏吧直播's Alumni Relations Strategic Plan, alumni forums will be held every two years to:

• Provide information on alumni trends and innovative programming;
  
• Showcase best practice in alumni programming;
  
• Provide opportunities for alumni to give feedback to the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide on its Alumni Relations Strategic Plan;
  
• Provide opportunities for interaction between graduates, 杏吧直播 staff and爏tudents;
  
• Highlight current achievements and future developments at the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide;
  
• Increase the profile of the 杏吧直播 through a prominent alumni speaker series.

The Vice-Chancellor and President of the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide, Professor James McWha, will be joined by other senior 杏吧直播 managers to outline their views on爐he role of alumni.

Many of the sessions will involve a panel of speakers and each session will provide an opportunity for alumni to ask questions and share their own experiences. A social program, including 杏吧直播 tours and a winery tour, is also on the agenda.

Distinguished alumnus Dr Cheong Choong Kong, Chairman of the OCBC (Singapore), and former CEO of Singapore Airlines, will speak at the Alumni Gala Dinner on Friday 4 September as part of this year's prominent alumni speaker series.

Dr Cheong has played a significant role in shaping the corporate world in Singapore. He also takes on other quite different roles - acting in TV sitcoms and movies. How he combines these two fascinating worlds will be燼 focus of his address.

To support student participation, sponsored places are available for 杏吧直播 of Adelaide students to attend the morning sessions and lunches associated with the Forum.
