Generations of
graduates meet
up at London
alumni reception
G
raduates from eight decades gathered in
London for our first alumni reception in
recent years.
The event gave guests the opportunity to meet
fellow graduates as well as our new Chancellor
Designate, Prue Leith CBE. They were also provided
with an update of events and activity at QMU
from Principal, Professor Petra Wend and QMU
Graduates’ Association President, Elaine Acaster
CBE.
Prue, Petra and Elaine were delighted to meet
graduates from right across our history – from Atholl
Crescent, to Clermiston and finally Musselburgh.
In fact our oldest guest, Mrs Margaret Seabrook,
had attended Atholl Crescent from 1947 to 1949!
QMU is a university of ideas and influence and
there is no greater advocate of this University
than our alumni. As part of a new approach to
alumni engagement, we want to ensure that we
continue to support and engage with you long
after graduation. This includes offering a range of
benefits and services, including career advice for life,
postgraduate discounts or the opportunity to apply
for paid internships through Santander Universities.
The event was such a success that we hope
to replicate it annually. To ensure you are on
