Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU) alumni team recently hosted their annual Celebration event – recognising the outstanding achievements of the Alumni and Industry Fellows who volunteer their time to support NTU students.
The Alumni and Industry Fellowship Programme is comprised of a world-wide network of volunteers who generously support activities across NTU such as mentoring, guest lecturing and employability workshops. In the current academic year alone, Alumni and Industry Fellows have accumulated over 1000 volunteering hours, evidencing their commitment to supporting NTU students.
In an evening of thanks and celebration, Fellows were invited to the City campus for the much anticipated Alumni and Industry Fellowship Celebration event. After an opportunity to network, the guests enjoyed a series of inspirational presentations beginning with an address by Sharon Huttly, NTU’s Deputy Vice Chancellor – Academic Development and Performance. Sharon highlighted the impact the Alumni and Industry Fellowship makes across NTU, sharing that over 24,000 students have been supported, nurtured and inspired by Fellows to date. She also revealed that over 200 new Fellows have joined the programme in the last twelve months.
…. After the presentations, the celebrations continued with delicious food and refreshments being served. Guests also had the opportunity to have professional headshots taken and connect with colleagues from NTU Arts, NTU Enterprise and NTU Regular Giving and Community Fundraising at the Marketplace. As the evening continued, the room was full of conversation and guests were left with a sense of excitement about continuing their volunteering journeys.
NTU is looking forward to continuing their work with Alumni and Industry Fellows in the 24/25 academic year as they continue to contribute to the success of the many students who will follow in their footsteps.
