Alumni Network - Durham Union Society

Please feel free to get the message out to other alumni about this group. The more of us who band together, the more we can accomplish!

This is an open, friendly facebook group for all life members of the Durham Union Society.
Having signed up as a life member during your time at Durham, you remain a vital part of the Union Society and are entitled entry to all our debates and addresses (and socials).
As one of 23,000 alumni, you form a significant and crucial part of the Society. This group has been created in order for you to reconnect as a member to the Society, especially if you have since lost contact.
We want to hear your ideas for how we can better involve you as an alumnus and what you would like to receive out of your life-membership.
We would also love to hear about your time at the Union Society - any roles you held and where you have got to now.

Looking forward to welcoming you back,

Katharine.
