backroom teams and volunteers played in its success. The Business School
is similar – our active alumni volunteer programme is helping to attract high
calibre students and deliver outstanding programmes, as well as grow its
international reputation and influence. Alumni both contribute to, and benefit
from, the Business School’s success.

resource to help you develop contacts, solve business problems and develop
business. In this edition, you can find out about the many opportunities to keep
