Introducing the Alumni Relations Team.
Amanda Lyne, MA (Hons) BA
Alumni Relations Manager
Amanda is primarily responsible for encouraging and cultivating active, life-long relationships with the University's Alumni & Friends. Providing opportunities for alumni to stay connected to the University and one another via events, communications, benefits and services. We currently have over 142,000 alumni on our database of which 98,000 are mailable.
Did you know that the word alumni is derived from the Latin verb alere, "to nourish" and literally means "nourished one"? The primary role of the Alumni Relations Team is to nourish the relationship between the University and its graduates and friends.
