Enhance your alumni community

Contribute to a thriving alumni community by sharing your time, enthusiasm and expertise. From showcasing the diversity of alumni stories in a profile to speaking at or hosting an event, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, however much time you are able to spare.

Deliver a virtual Alumni Masterclass for recent graduates

Our Masterclass series provides recent Imperial graduates with opportunities for professional development and networking. Combining thought leadership with the opportunity to develop and refine skills and personal attributes for success, our Masterclasses attract an international alumni audience from many different sectors and disciplines. Recent topics have addressed new ways of networking to remain visible in a virtual world of work and what it means to be a modern manager.

We are keen to hear from experienced alumni who would like to share their own expertise and deliver an interactive virtual masterclass on a professional development/career related theme. If you are passionate and knowledgeable about a subject or have a contemporary, new angle on a traditional theme, we would like to hear from you. If you have an idea in mind we can help you shape the content to develop this into a Masterclass.

If you're interested in taking part or would like to find out more, please contact Karine Madoian, Alumni Engagement and Events Coordinator, on [email protected].

Time Commitment: Approximately three hours - one hour for the event plus preparation/planning time
