Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Greenfield recently announced all UQ students would be considered alumni from the day they enrol, giving them access to a raft of new privileges.

In response to this, the UQ Student Alumni Program was launched in February as part of the wider UQ Alumni Program, which is coordinated by the University’s Advancement Office.

Advancement Office Deputy Director, Alumni and Community Relations, Lea Sublett said students had responded enthusiastically to the change. The first student alumni event of the year, the UQ Backpack to Briefcase Career Breakfast seminar, proved a success.

“We want to engage UQ students with this initiative and show them the ways we can enhance their studies and careers,” Ms Sublett said.

All UQ alumni are invited to be part of the program, which includes career assistance.
