Organise a Reunion

The Alumni Office encourages you to organise reunions as a way of keeping in touch and rekindling the bonds forged in your Uni days. We are happy to help you. The following is a checklist of some of the essentials which need to be covered for a successful reunion. You can contact us at any time for help, suggestions and information. We can be reached at alumni@uow.edu.au or on +61 2 4221 4676.

Planning your Reunion:

  • Form a small committee of 3 or 4
