Alumni

After years of living as an extended family, Academy graduates can join the alumni network to stay connected with each other and the Academies. With professional resources, class reunions and opportunities to volunteer, alumni continue to network for their own and others’ benefit.

Continuing the Journey

The alumni committee organise in-person and virtual social events for alumni around the world to keep in touch. Participants can engage with professionals in their industry and civil society leaders through the speaker sessions, and can themselves join panels to share their experiences with Diploma students. Many alumni mentor Diploma students, with more initiatives coming soon.
