Tips to make your event a success
Publicise your event
By promoting your event through the UOW Website, Alumni E-news, university publications or community news bulletins or papers you will spread the message about your event and possibly make contact with alumni who you haven’t been able to trace.
Name Badges
Provide all guests with name badges.
Biographies/Anecdotal Stories
You may like to consider encouraging alumni to send in their biography or an anecdote about their time at the University of Wollongong prior to the reunion.
Memorabilia Gifts
Often reunion organisers provide each of their guests with a small gift to commemorate the occasion. You may also like to consider providing an opportunity for alumni to purchase gifts. The University offers a range of merchandise available at the Unishop or online.
Reunion Gifts
As a means of marking this special anniversary or occasion you can encourage your fellow alumni to contribute towards a reunion gift (donation). You can support a range of programs promoting excellence and innovation, including innovative research, scholarships for hardworking or disadvantaged students, prizes to reward academic achievement, initiatives to support our community and activities to conserve our environment.
For further information for how to establish a reunion gift please contact the Alumni Relations team.
