Call to alumni
As Bondholder the University of Derby approaches its 30th anniversary, it has launched the 'Made in Derby' campaign to reconnect with its alumni.
The new campaign aims to encourage the thousands of graduates who have walked its campuses, frequented its online learning forums or studied through its academic partners over the years, to share their experiences of their time at Derby and stories that will continue to inspire the current and future students.
The University’s Development and Alumni Relations Office is already in touch with a significant number of graduates through its global alumni community, which offers lifelong professional development and further study, career and business support, as well as a range of exclusive benefits and discounts.
Richard Gerver, Chair of the University’s Alumni and Membership Advisory Board, added: “I am so grateful and proud to have been to the University of Derby, it is where I found my career and my future life. I know that I am one of thousands who feel the same and it is why ‘Made In Derby’ is such an exciting idea; a place where we can reconnect, celebrate our stories and inspire others to write their own chapters.”
Hannah Hallam, Development and Alumni Relations Manager at the University of Derby, said: “Not only do our alumni inspire and motivate current and prospective students, they still have access to great benefits and are a part of our global community for as long as they want. We're proud of them all and this campaign is a great way for them to showcase their successes and reminisce about their time at Derby – did they make lifelong friends, did a lecturer have a profound impact on them, did they meet their partner here? We're asking our alumni to get in touch and tell us how their time at the University of Derby helped to make them who they are today.”
Some of the Marketing Derby Bondholders have also been students at the University of Derby and have shared their stories as part of the alumni campaign.
