Development and Alumni Relations Office
Alumni relations
We exist to maintain strong links with graduates, parents, friends and supporters of the University of Leicester through a programme of events, services and communications.
Alumni are able to keep up-to-date with University and graduate news through our annual magazine, regular e-newsletters, and via our alumni social media channels. Our programme of events is also a popular way for graduates to reconnect.
We are also responsible for encouraging and stewarding philanthropic gifts to support a range of needs, including bursaries for students, campus facilities and state-of-the-art research equipment.

Corporate Events
We celebrate the University's global excellence, delivering and facilitating high quality and engaging events for broad audiences - promoting its work and achievements.
We're responsible for leading and co-ordinating public events and campaigns such as the Chancellor’s Distinguished Lecture Series and our Leicester Heroes Day with the Anthony Nolan trust, and celebration activities like Christmas on Campus and building openings - plus our two annual Graduation congregations.
We also advise staff on developing events that are being organised in their own departments or schools throughout the year.
