Starting a new group

Regional alumni groups are important points of contact for alumni living and working around the world and play a key role in building the School's international alumni network.

But just because you graduated from a business school doesn't necessarily mean that you want to talk business all the time!  Run by alumni for alumni, social networking groups enable you to meet up with fellow alumni with common interests and let your hair down in an informal environment. You might even want to set up an industry sector group, to network with industry experts and each other, and explore industry issues.

Benefits of a local group

• Networking and socialising – connect with old friends with whom you have a shared experience, and who understand your professional goals, as well as make new friends and contacts 
• Open doors locally by networking with business people in your area 
• Benefit from professional development and educational opportunities 
• Open doors further afield by connecting with Nottingham University Business School groups in other parts of the country, or even internationally when you're travelling abroad or moving overseas on business 
• Benefit from industry insights through arranging events such as guest lectures, presentations and panel discussions
