Imperial College Business School’s alumni community is accomplished, inspiring and diverse. Our alumni are the School’s greatest advocates and supporters. We rely on the support of our dedicated alumni to assist with our events and activities and to help realise the School’s strategic goals.
We are always keen to grow our supporter base with our talented alumni. Volunteering your time strengthens your link to the Business School community and provides you with opportunities to continuously develop your professional and personal skills.
Below are some of the activities which you can support. We welcome the interest of alumni across all programmes. As a volunteer, you will receive support from our team to ensure a positive and rewarding experience.
Imperial College Business School Careers need alumni support across a range of activities and initiatives. You can provide invaluable resources through offering placements, internships or consultancy projects for students.

Students have many opportunities throughout the academic year to network with alumni. These events include alumni-student networking socials organised by student-led Career Clubs, alumni panels during student inductions, special programme competitions that require alumni judges or campus-based recruitment and information sessions for prospective students.
You can support students by offering to share your expertise at speaking opportunities or attend networking events.
Senior MBA alumni are invited to mentor our current Full Time MBA cohort to support and accelerate their transition into and beyond Imperial College Business School, helping them make the most of a one year MBA programme and achieve their career goals. Matches will be made between students and alumni who are working in their industry, functional area and location of choice.

Our Alumni Relations team maintains a strong online presence and offers interesting content to our alumni through Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, our monthly alumni e-bulletin, Alumni Insights, and website. We encourage you to like, share and engage with our social media channels online to help increase the reach of information to the alumni community.
We need you to help us highlight the success of our alumni community through alumni profiles and case studies that we use across the School’s various communication channels. Share your success, or the success of your former classmates. We are also interested in hearing from alumni with a talent for blog writing and you can see examples of what your fellow alumni have written.
Alumni can play a pivotal role in recruiting the next generation of Full time, Weekend and Global MBA students by volunteering to conduct interviews. Recruitment takes place at various times during the year and alumni are expected to carry out 30 minute interviews.
