Monash University Alumni Relations: Special Bulletin

The four pillars of alumni programming

2. Lifelong learning

Monash graduates are keen learners and have a passion for knowledge.

Monash alumni told us:

• 65% of alumni under 35 are interested in careers and professional development programs
• 55% are interested in receiving information on Monash research and development
• 52% are interested in receiving information on university progress
• 51% are interested in receiving information on alumni and university events
• 42% of alumni indicated that they have an interest in performing arts

What have we done?

• Realigned the “Gearing for Success” seminar series to focus on career progression, leadership, management skills and networking
• Invited alumni to selected performances, concerts and other arts and special events
• Emphasised, within alumni communications, information about Monash research, alumni news and events

Working together, we will:

• Expand faculty-based and special interest group learning opportunities
• Continue to research the various groups within the alumni base, and develop and support learning opportunities
• Continue to highlight the knowledge and expertise of alumni and invite them to develop and deliver learning sessions
• Provide additional ways for you to learn more about Monash research, research outcomes and developments through showcase events and electronic and print communications
