Philanthropy, Alumni and Community Engagement
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.
