It’s been a busy couple of months for the UCL School of Management alumni team, who have hosted a range of international events alongside our world-leading faculty members. Designed to bring together our global alumni community, events took place in the iconic cities of Dubai and Singapore, as well as our first-ever event in New York City. Alumni from all levels of study and across all programmes attended the events.

Kicking off the first of our official alumni events, Alex Redmond, Alumni Relations Officer (Global Engagement) headed to G-Gallery in New York City joined by Paolo Taticchi, Professor in Strategy and Sustainability and Deputy Director at UCL School of Management. Paolo shared key updates on the School of Management’s ongoing expansion, and highlighted the work of the newly launched UCL Centre for Sustainable Business, which he co-directs.

After New York, Alex visited Singapore in April for an evening event held at the Mandarin Oriental.

Joined by UCL School of Management Professors Alan Parkinson and Lynsie Chew, the event provided an excellent opportunity for alumni to reconnect while also forming new friendships across industries and professions. The team were  delighted to welcome Mr Praveen Velu, the recently appointed President of the UCL Singapore Alumni Association.

Finally, the team were thrilled to support the UCL Dubai Alumni Reception at Zabeel House, The Greens. More than 50 UCL alumni, including many from the School of Management, gathered for an evening of networking and socialising over drinks and canapés. Professor Paolo Taticchi once again joined the event, sharing insights from his recent book entitled How to Be Sustainable: Business Strategies for Leading Change.

Reflecting on the events, Alumni Relations Manager Natalie Scanlon said, ‘Our international alumni events are a great opportunity to connect with your local network and remain involved with the School. These events celebrate the shared experiences that connect the School of Management community, no matter where you are based, and we love hearing what you have been up to since studying with us!’
