ABS Launches Alumni Network

A welcome from Elly Sample

Elly Sample, Director of Marketing, Communications and Development for the University of Lincoln is the current Chair of the Group.

The Association of Business Schools has recently set up an Alumni Network Steering Group. Currently 19 UK University Business Schools including Ashridge, Westminster, Henley, Kingston and Oxford Brookes are working together with the Association of Business Schools to put on the first ever shared event for UK University Business School alumni.

We are planning to put on joint events and career enhancing activities at venues around the world to engage with UK HE alumni globally and promote and add value to the UK HE  Business School experience. The events will be advertised to a total of 1/2 million professionals and will provide the opportunity for them to learn from experts in the field of business as well as to network.

This is a significant step forward in Higher Education, as building strong University links will underpin success in the sector and we hope to expand the group and give all University Business Schools in the UK the opportunity to invite their alumni to future events and shared activities.

We aim to engage with alumni from across Europe and beyond and to remind the world that the UK is a global leader in business and finance and that its educational environment is second to none.   Universities are essential for building a strong and innovative economy. This initiative will promote HE UK internationally and will significantly contribute to the generation of relationships across the sector.
