The new WGA website has been launched and has a fresh new look and many enhanced features.
Check out the new 'Friends Reunited' style search. Update your details and tell us and your fellow Warwick alumni what you have been doing since you graduated. Have you achieved your dreams? Travelled the world? Got an interesting job? Received an award? Got married? Had a baby?
.. We want to hear about it (and see the pictures)!
Enter the new monthly competition. Answer a simple question to win great prizes. A bottle of champagne goes to the winner of the August draw!
Been to an event recently? Look out for yourself and your friends in our past events photo gallery. Don't forget that you can still book for up-coming events online and see who is coming too.
Is there a particular person or group that you want to get in touch with but can't find their details in the online directory? Leave them a message on the WGA Message Board you never know, it might be your lucky day!
If you are overseas, make sure that you check the overseas section of the site for events and news from your part of the world. Contact your country's Alumni Representative to find out what is planned where you are.
Obtain careers advice via our featured monthly tips and web links, read news and views from the University, join the WGA and much much more

SUMMER GRADUATION WEEK 2003
Graduation week took place on one of the hottest weeks of the year in a blaze of sunshine. The WGA and International Office set up a combined camp in the Mead Gallery and saw a couple of thousand graduates in the four days we were there.
This year we ran a Champagne Draw for a bottle of Veuve Clicquot which was won by Kimberley Tate (Sociology 2000 - 2003).
If you have just graduated and haven't yet signed up, you can still do so at www.warwick.ac.uk/alumni. Membership is £15 per year for the first two years. You will receive a 2003 yearbook and, if you pay by direct debit, a free ticket to the Christmas party on 13 December, worth £13.
For less than the price of one night out (depending on your drinking habits!) you get a full year of benefits for yourself and also the satisfaction that your membership fee is helping to support brilliant causes such as scholarships for young people from low-income families, hardship funds, sport at Warwick and much much more
If you decide not to join please keep in touch with us anyway and make sure we are informed of your contact details and what you are doing by visiting the WGA website at www.wgaalumni.co.uk/update or by emailing wga@warwick.ac.uk. You never know who might want to contact you via the Alumni Relations Office or what exciting opportunities might come up for you through the University. If we don't know where you are, we can't let you know about the things that will interest you.
Congratulations to everyone who graduated this month and welcome to the worldwide community of Warwick alumni! |
