The Alumni and Development Office develops and maintains relationships between UTS, alumni (which includes former students and staff of UTS and antecedent institutions), businesses and the wider community.

The Alumni and Development Office seeks to involve alumni with UTS for the mutual benefit of alumni and the University. This involves effective communication and provision of a range of services and benefits. The office also works to develop relationships which may result in alumni and the community supporting UTS in practical ways and through donations and sponsorship.

UTS: Alumni membership

UTS: Alumni membership is free and open to all graduates and former staff from UTS and its antecedent organisations (e.g. NSWIT or Kuring-gai CAE).

UTS: Alumni members can:

  • access a range of alumni services and participate in networking activities
  • access discounts and free offers
  • attend events to enhance career development
  • receive the bi-annual alumni magazine Stay Connected and monthly electronic newsletter e:Connect
  • participate in online communities and register on the online business directory
  • join local and international alumni networks with others who share common interests.

    • UTS: Alumni publications

    The magazine Stay Connected highlights the achievements of alumni and key initiatives at UTS. It is distributed to over 100,000 members in spring and autumn.

    The alumni newsletter e:CONNECT is distributed electronically each month to alumni and includes special offers for alumni, job vacancies, upcoming alumni events, plus information on the latest news, events and research at UTS.

    Story suggestions for either Stay Connected or e:CONNECT, including UTS news, research or graduate profiles, may be emailed to alumni@uts.edu.au

    Alumni networks

    Alumni networks allow alumni to network with fellow graduates in the same faculty/discipline area, geographical region or industry.

    Alumni are closely involved in running networks, with support from the Alumni and Development Office. Graduates can join an existing alumni network or can set up a new network with assistance from the Alumni and Development Office.
