Calling Durham alumni!
The Ustinov Global Citizenship Programme is hosting an interactive event for students by students to connect new graduates with Durham alumni. The event will take place on the 29th of June from 13:00 to 15:00 and will function as an informal Q&A.

We’re looking for Durham alumni who are willing to speak to new graduates about their experiences navigating the workforce either in the UK or abroad. The event will be informal and will simply facilitate conversations between students and alumni to allow to them to ask any questions relating to job searching, job applications/process and how to make the most out of their Durham experience.

If you’re interested and willing to help students make the transition from Durham University into the workforce easier, please contact me at [email protected].

Looking forward to hearing from you!
